The Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti is the right way to see wild animals. This is not a zoo. Is a place where brown bears are living in wild, free, but they are rescued from the circus or from some cages where the bears stayed before. Now you can see these animals back to wildlife.

Gold hearted team
Amazing team , ppl with golden hearts are working to help all the captive brown bears and not only ( wolfs , dogs , deers ). . You need to go and visit and educate your children to be a better person with animals. Please mind this is not a zoo.
Response from the operator: Thanks, Crissie! We are glad that you enjoyed the tour.

Great tour!!
We had an amazing day! Florin is an excellent and prepared tour guide and also a very kind person. We visited the Libearty Bear Sanctuary, for me one of the best places to visit in Rumania, because you have the opportunity to see animals being free again. Bran Castle and Brasov are a must on a trip in Rumania. I highly recommend this tour!!
Response from the operator: Hi Loreto, Thanks for your review. You're right, it's good to see the wild animals free again. LiBEARty is a place to see.

LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bucharest.
How much does LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti cost?
+
Prices start at $401 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bucharest usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bucharest is not rushed.
Is LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bucharest, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bucharest can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bucharest and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does LiBEARty - the Brown Bear Sanctuary from Zarnesti start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bucharest within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bucharest?
+
On Outty we rank every Bucharest experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Real tour of Communism, Bucharest Highlights Walking Tour, Top Gear Road, Small-group max 7 pax with Pick-up, Transfăgărăşan. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bucharest?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bucharest?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
