Behold the mesmerizing strength of the Axe Women Loggers of Maine, an all-female “Lumberjill” show that travels throughout North America. Don’t miss the Log Rolling School where you can try to be a Lumberjack or Lumberjill.

At Welde’s Big Bear Expedition, watch beautiful grizzlies’ performances, which help to raise awareness on the need for preservation so we don’t lose this beloved species. Grizzly Falls is the official play area of resident bears in which they are free to roam and have fun under a scenic waterfall.
