Outside of the barnyard zone/entrance area/small animal building there are less than a dozen exhibits in the entire zoo! However, the big claim to fame is the fairly new 2-acre Grizzly Bear exhibit and the other mammal enclosures (Amur Tiger, Red Panda, Bighorn Sheep, Beaver, River Otter, 1-acre Grey Wolf habitat) are all above average and the zoo did not lose that many animals when it lost its accreditation. The problem has always been finances and with 80,000 annual visitors in a gargantuan, empty state like Montana that will consistently be an issue.

I'm honestly surprised this zoo is still around. Aside from being so tiny, they exhibit animals that a person can see in the wild in one of the most famous national parks in the world. With the exception of the tiger and sika deer, everything else is something you can see in the wild in Montana. Why pay to see something in an enclosure that you can see roaming free?
