Big Bear Lake
Moonridge Animal Park (Zoo) has long provided a shelter for
injured animals who can no longer survive on their
own in the forests of the local region. Bears,
mountain lions, raccoons, bald eagles, wolves, grey
fox and a variety of water fowl all enjoy being
taken care of in a comfortable setting close to
their original homes. If you've never seen this
treasure set on a hill sloping downward adjacent to
the Big Bear Mountain Resorts Golf Course and Ski
Schools, please go check it out. The zoo will be
relocated next the Discovery Center across the Lake
eventually.
You will love visiting
the animals, looking at the gifts and possibly even
attending the "Howl with the Wolves" evening event
or Flashlight Tours where you can see animals that
stay up at night (seasonal offering). Bison, wolves,
bears and bunnies are regulars at the animal park. Moonridge Animal
Park rescues injured and displaced animals, nursing
them to health and returning them to the woods
whenever possible. This eagle had a wing
fracture but was on the mend and doing quite well.
