Grizzly bears Emmett and Digger aren’t the only ones engaging with the recent renovations in Rocky Mountain Wild! The new guest path winds through native trees and plants, leading you past three lively raccoon brothers before reaching the updated grizzly bear exhibit. Here, you can get a closer look at Emmett and Digger as they enjoy their training, enrichment activities, pools and dirt piles—or even catch them during one of their naps! And don’t miss the scenic views and the thrill of our brand-new 20- and 30-foot-tall fire tower slides, open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.!
