ZOO

Big Bear Alpine Zoo Nearing Construction Date
The Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District is excited to announce that
the construction of the new Big Bear Alpine Zoo is right around the corner
both literally and figuratively! Construction is scheduled to begin no later
than March, 2016 and may begin earlier if weather permits. The new Big
Bear Alpine Zoo will be constructed at the corner of Club View Drive and
Moonridge Road providing a relatively short transition for the current
animal collection from the current site once the new facility is open.
The Zoo’s mission is and has been to rescue and rehabilitate injured,
orphaned, or abandoned wildlife with the hope in each case to release
the animal back into its natural habitat. Those that are not releasable
due to human imprinting, debilitating injury, or inability to sustain in the
wild become our education ambassadors helping the Zoo to further its
message of ecology through education. The new facility is scheduled to
open between Memorial Day and Labor Day, 2017. Until then, don’t miss
the chance to see our upgraded Snow Leopard, Black Bear, Raccoon, and
Raven exhibits, and all of the rest of our magnificent animals.
