Private Tour (without adoption) - $50.00 per person, $25.00 for children ages 10 to 16.
Come to Bear Creek with your friends and family for a private tour. Our tours take approximately 2 hours. You will get to meet all of
our animals and can ask questions of our staff of volunteers. You will be closer to our animals than you would be at any zoo, and
because we foster-raise big cat cubs for other facilities opportunities may arise to meet and play with the babies in
a controlled and supervised environment. We don't always have babies, but we often do!
(Sorry-small children, strollers and umbrellas are not allowed on our tours.)
To make an appointment for a private tour please call Mary at 705-721-4730.
Adoption Levels: (All adoptions are for one year.)

Adoption and private tour rates effective September 15, 2011
Tours
Private tours must be booked at least one week in advance, are dependant on the weather and may be cancelled without notice. (We are often called upon to provide immediate rescue options to animals in need and that work will override any social engagements we have scheduled.) Payment for additional guests is due at the time of the tour. (Sorry-small children, strollers and umbrellas are not allowed on our tours.) Private tours may or may not include limited interaction with certain animals, and
depending on availability, could include interaction and photo opportunities with baby animals - afterall, they need to exercise
and play.
