We visited Boyds Bear Country on October 4th. Driving up we did not know what to expect, but as we turned onto the property this huge bear mural greeted us. Even though it looks like a barn as soon as you walk in it feels like a log cabin. The wood walls and the fireplace drawing you in and make the place feel smaller than what it really is. We did the museum walk through first and learned about the history of the company. The rest of the main floor and the second floor are bears, bears, bears. Actually include the third floor as well, it contains a bear nursery and a build a bear zone. Even if you are not going to buy anything you have to check out all the different bear displays. Notice all the detail they put into it and appreciate the creativity.
There is a food court on the bottom floor. You have your choice from a deli, bakery, or eating family style. We skipped this and pigged out on fudge. There is a type of general store that sells bagged gummi bears, peanuts, etc. Perfect snacks for that ride home.

At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but upon arrival, I was very impressed. The building is 3 floors, 1 floor with restaurants and such, floor 2 and 3 were filled corner to corner with bears. They had racing bears, santa bears, fishing bears, etc. The store is very well organized and very clean. Take a look, its worth the stop.

we also have been to boyds Bear country multiple times what a great place. even my husband at 53 yers old loved it. he told me it makes him feel five years old again.
we have shopped there every christmas and the place is magical. the decorations are beautifull and the staff for the most part is friendly.
the restruants are pretty good and not too pricy. we are three hours away and the next time we go we plan on staying overnight and driving back the next day. six hours driving plus all day there is too much. i would reccommend this to everyone

Boyd's Bear County is a must see! Even if your not a collector or a bear lover you will still be delighted. If you have to go on the weekend, make it Sunday morning, far less people.
