Bearizona doesn’t list a discount for individual teachers. The only school-related line on its tickets page is a Group Admission note: special rates for parties of 25 or more, unified school districts and tour operators, with no amount given and a request to contact the park.
If you’re thinking about a class trip to the park in Williams, Arizona, or a weekday there with your own kids, the sections below keep the two apart. The group rate is a conversation with the park, so we’ve written down what the pages say and what to ask.
How To Get The Bearizona Teacher Discount
There isn’t a teacher discount to claim, and the tickets page, the Plan Your Adventure page and the Contact page don’t mention teachers or a teacher ID. The group rate is the route to try. The tickets page says to contact the park for more information about it, and the Contact page says to fill out the contact form and one of the park’s experts will respond as soon as possible. The tickets page also lists a phone number, (928) 635-2289, and info@bearizona.com.
It’s worth asking about the amount before you plan a budget around it, because the page doesn’t print one.
What The Group Line Covers
The line lists three kinds of groups: parties of 25 or more, unified school districts and tour operators. It doesn’t say whether a single class of fewer than 25 qualifies, since unified school districts are listed alongside the 25-person parties, so that’s a question for the park. Tell them how many students and adults are coming, and which day you’d like to visit.
Planning The Day
Admission includes parking, the self-guided drive-thru, the walk-thru, a barnyard that’s open seasonally and the park’s shows. The Contact page says to allow approximately three hours for the whole park. The Plan Your Adventure page lists the park as open daily at 9:00 AM, with the last car admitted at 4:00 PM and closing at 5:30 PM, and it says hours may vary on holidays and to call for the most accurate information.
The Park Rules page has one rule worth checking before you line up cars or a bus: each vehicle must be completely enclosed and have operational windows, and motorcycles, ATV/all-terrain vehicles and open-top jeeps or convertibles aren’t allowed. The pages don’t say how a school bus or a large group handles the drive-thru, so that’s another one to ask about.
Visiting On Your Own
On a weekday with your own kids, the tickets page lists adults (13-61) at $30, children (4-12) at $20 and seniors (62+) at $27. Weekend tickets, Saturday and Sunday, are $35 for adults, $25 for children and $32 for seniors. Children 3 and under are free, and the page notes that prices may vary based on weekends and busy seasons.
If you’d come back through the year, the page lists two annual carload passes. The Platinum pass is $500 and the Bronze pass is $350, with an exception for blackout dates on the Bronze. Both give unlimited visits for one full year for the named holder and all persons in the same vehicle. Only one name can be on the pass, and that person must always be present with I.D. to get one non-commercial carload in for free. Memberships also include 10% off gift shop purchases and 10% off Bearizona Grille and Canyonlands food purchases.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
We couldn’t find the group rate amount, and the page doesn’t say whether a class under 25 qualifies, what a school district needs to show to be treated as one, or whether a bus can use the drive-thru. We didn’t send the contact form, so we don’t know what the park would quote.
