COME CELEBRATE WITH Us

Join us to celebrate BC Bear Day at the BC Wildlife Park, a fun and educational event for the whole family. This special day highlights British Columbia’s wild bear species, along with the bears that reside right here at the Park.

Enjoy interactive experiences throughout the day, including bear feeding talks, scavenger hunts, and hands-on learning opportunities for all age groups.

Little ones can enjoy bouncy castles, face painting, and a lively performance by Kiki the Eco Elf. On top of that, enjoy bear cone ice cream, local food trucks, and unique bear-themed educational activities.
