I don’t have enough good things to say about our trip to the bear sanctuary! It was so much fun to be able to observe so many black bears being fed in a safe and responsible way! Once we found the correct address for the sanctuary (be very sure to have this address in your phone correctly as there is very little reception in this area!), we were able to follow the dirt road to the parking lot where the bus picked us up and brought us to the observation area. All of the staff was extremely informative and the gift shop was a lot of fun!
We had a wonderful time here! I was there years ago when the bears were able to roam freely around vehicles, but they’ve since put up an overlook. The staff (unpaid interns) were very well educated and were very polite. They were all genuinely happy to be there. The bears were so fun to watch.
Very interesting experience. The staff gave great information. Watching the babies was awesome.
Must visit!!! We saw some posters on our drive up towards the Canada border but had no clue about this place until someone at our cabin made a mention and said that we should absolutely check it out!! I am so glad that we did. I have been raving about it and telling my friends about this wonderful amazing spot and the work they are doing to keep the bears safe. It was a spectacle to see these wild creatures in their natural habitat. Must recommend for all ages. The volunteers are absolutely wonderful as well. Kudos to the team!!
Great experience for me and my two young nieces. We all loved it. Really cool to see such elusive wild animals lounging around eating in the open, and interacting with each other. Very informative, though I'm pretty well versed on black bears, they covered some of the basics and did a good job.
Wow! What a treat to walk along the observation boardwalk and watch so many bears wandering below, lying around the area, coming in and out of the trees into the opening, and of course, the cubs scampering up the trees. Very reasonable admission: $10 adults, $8 seniors. There are many information placards, plenty of staff to answer questions, and three different talks on various bear topics. From the parking lot a bus takes everyone to the observation walkways, where there is a gift shop and two port-o-toilets.
I love this place! Seeing all the bears coming in to eat is amazing. They are free to come and go and intersect as normal as possible. So thankful for the volunteers and staff that make this possible.
My husband and I have been coming to the sanctuary for many years and we always bring our guests to come and experience the understanding of the black bear and other wildlife. It is a must see when you are up north! ❤️

Was visiting family for a few days. Came here. Loved it! My granddaughter said bear for the first time! And it was a fantastic day being around over 60 American Black Bear. Will definitely come back if ever in the area.
This was our first national park on our year long road trip and we loved it. The Ash River Visitors Center was quite small and had a small gift shop and theater. The rangers were very helpful and our kids really enjoyed the Jr. Ranger program. We al
The fried and Cajun walleye are delicious. Kids approved of the spaghetti too (8 & 11). Perfect pour on the beer. The bar was quiet, but it was a Wednesday at 5:30. Service was fast and friendly. Will be back next year when we return to northern MN.
