The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is one of only two alpine zoos in the United States. As San Bernardino County's only zoo, it also supports the County's wildlife rehabilitation efforts,offering sick, injured or orphaned wild animals a safe haven -- temporarily while they heal or permanently if they are unable to survive on their own. Many of the animals brought to us for rehabilitation are successfully released back into their native environment. Those that remain with us on exhibit are either too injured or have been imprinted by humans and cannot be released back into the wild to care for themselves. The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is home to more than 150 mammals, birds, and reptiles representing more than 85 different species, while operating on a budget of over $2M. The Zoo is open to the public 364 days per year and the Zoo hosts over one hundred thousand visitors annually. Today's Dreams........Tomorrow's Reality --- Our NEW State-of-the-Art Zoo is nearing completion. Our newfacility will continue to provide a safe and loving "Home for Life" for animals which cannot be released backintothe wild, while providing for a higher quality of care for those that can. Overview of the Big Bear Alpine Zoo-- The zoo is located in the mountains of the San Bernardino National Forest at an elevation of 7140 feet.The Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District, a Special District of the County of San Bernardino, owns the zoo and facilities. Animal Care, Groundskeepers, Maintenance, Education and Administration staff are all County employees.
