Opened in July 2001, The Black Forest Bear Park is a educational family exhibit located in the beautiful mountains of Helen, Georgia. The park hosts a bear exhibit, snake exhibit and the largest gift shop in Helen. Visitors may buy food trays that consist of sliced apples and bread to feed our bears. The bears enjoy interacting with people, and people… well we’re not sure which of the two enjoys interacting with the other more. Our bear friends can’t wait until they see you again!
