Join us at Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center for a one-of-a-kind Breakfast with Bears experience!
Begin your morning by making breakfast enrichment for the bears at Southwest Wildlife, followed by an escort into the bear’s enclosure – without the bears present – to place their items around the enclosure yourself!
Once the items are placed, you will enjoy sitting next to the bear enclosures and watch them dig in while you get to enjoy breakfast yourself! During your meal, our volunteers will share our sanctuary bears’ stories and fun facts about their species.
To make your visit even more memorable, enjoy an optional 1-hour guided tour of the sanctuary and meet some of our other incredible wildlife ambassadors.
Your participation helps support wildlife rescue and conservation efforts. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn about these amazing animals, indulge in breakfast pastries, and make a difference for wildlife!
