Go behind the scenes with Breakfast with the Bears. In a new educational space located by the habitat, a Maymont staff member will provide an overview of the bears’ behaviors, natural history and unique adaptations to our environment.

Observe Big Bear or Little Bear up close, from a safe distance, as the bear enjoys an enrichment treat in his natural habitat, which is built around a former quarry. Each 30-minute program includes a Q&A session and a photo op. (Please note, breakfast for humans is not included!)

This program is offered Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 10:30am through August, and Saturdays and Sundays at 10:30am from September 5 through November 29, excluding select event weekends. Reservations must be made 24 hours in advance of the program start time.

Check in at the Maymont Farm at 10:15am. Detailed meeting instructions will be sent in your confirmation email. A guide will lead the group to the bear habitat, about a half mile on foot. Please note: The gates to the Maymont Farm parking lot do not open until 10:00am.

Please wear comfortable walking shoes and sun or rain protection and bring a water bottle. The program will take place rain or shine but may be canceled for severe weather. Capacity is limited to 15 people. Children must be at least 4 years of age and accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Most of the path is wheelchair-accessible, but the terrain is hilly and there are rough patches. Wheelchair-accessible restrooms and drinking fountains are located near the Maymont Farm and Raptor Valley.

Please note: You must complete a Liability Waiver form during registration for all participants in your party.
