Our bear family is more diverse than any other! At our on-site animal park, various animal species—including dwarf goats, alpacas, geese, woolly pigs, ducks, and many more—leave their mark. Many of our animal residents are already in their golden years and have found a loving, caring home with us. Over the years, our petting zoo has thus also become a place where older animals can spend their twilight years.
Come on by and see if you can spot all the animal residents of Grizzly Bear Adventure Land.
Our little animal kingdom is waiting to be admired by visitors of all ages. We’re home to 42 animals representing over 10 different species. On the interactive tour, you’ll encounter our alpacas, woolly pigs, rabbits, geese, llamas, and many more. Many of our animals are already older and are spending their twilight years with us. This gives our animal park the character of a sanctuary. The well-being of our animals is our top priority. That’s why we make sure the enclosures are optimally tailored to the animals and their needs. The animal park has been in existence since 1978 and aims to foster encounters between people and animals.
Did you know that mallard ducks don't quack? When they have something to say, they chatter excitedly with each other and move their back feathers. By the way, you can watch this very well in our zoo, it looks so cute.
Fresh wood chips in the enclosure—and the joy was immense! They sniff around, root around, and burrow comfortably... exactly what our woolly pigs love. Our host immediately got behind the excavator himself and distributed the chips personally.
Last year, new enclosures were built, many details were changed vand new beautiful enclosures with lots of space for our zoo inhabitants were created.
Our bear family at Grizzly Bear Adventure Land is truly one of a kind. The 42 animal residents of our zoo are also part of our bear family. Many of them are already quite old and are spending their twilight years with us.
Our team is dedicated to the well-being and care of the animals. From mucking out the stables to providing species-appropriate feeding and maintaining the pastures and green spaces.
...there is even a beaver family at home here? You won't meet them in the zoo, but with a bit of luck you will find traces of the beavers on your tour near Lake Dittlig lake. Look out for any pointy tree trunks along the way.
The Grizzlybär Adventure Land (formerly the Grizzlybär Country Inn) is a perfect daytrip destination, just 15 minutes from Thun. Located directly on Lake Dittlig and at the gateway to the Gantrisch Nature Park, the Grizzlybär offers unlimited activities for the whole family.
