My 4 kids loved it! They went on it for one hour, then come out to the regular beach to play more and relax. $10 per person for one hour. The kids who are under 6 years old cant go on it. You will have to sign the waiver form for your children. There is a small gift shop inside. They do have a food menu to order some food here also.

What a hidden gem (to a Minnesotan)! Great for kids and adults. We will make this a yearly trip, because the family had so much fun. Its expensive, but worth the price in my opinion.

Bear Paw Beach is a perk of staying at Jellystone Campground. Just like the campground, the staff here is well-trained, friendly and courteous. Adventure Island is an hourly add on that provides fun and entertainment for ages 6 and over. Once strapped into your life vest, there are a few rules to learn. They provide a quick video as well as guards on the Island to watch over. No diving off, pushing, blocking paths, etc. standard water safety smarts. made it through the course about twice in the hour session. The course is challenging for all ages. Test your inner warrior or build a sand castle. If floating obstacle courses arent in your future... grab a cabana or treat yourself with a drink from the Tiki bar. Definitely plan ahead as Bear Paw Beach and Adventure Island gets busy. Plan a day or weekend at a well thought ultra kid friendly stop in Caledonia.

Drone Show Amazing! Staff-very friendly Advice- Bring an extra towel to dry off Beach chairs before you sit to watch show. Staff handling Beach Prep, activities during drone set up & rtn to Beach need a mic to announce transitions & amenities offered during break.

Hello! We had my sons birthday party at Bear Paw this morning, and I want to say a huge THANK YOU for a wonderful party!!!! From the moment we arrived, I was so impressed with the friendly people working there, the cleanliness of the beach area and all of the surrounding areas, and our fantastic hostess! She was friendly, attentive, patient, and just overall awesome!!!!! (I am hoping this message can be passed along to her supervisor...). Thank you again for a wonderful experience for my son and his friends; they all just kept saying how much fun they were having:-) Coming out of a year like we all just had, I am especially grateful for such a wonderful experience at Bear Paw this morning, and I will be recommending Bear Paw to everyone I know! (and I think we will be back sometime this summer!!!).

We went only for the drone show, after dark. Which was very impressive. So, u cant speak to the swimming, or the climbing around on the inflatables. But I can tell you that just looking at them, there are so many choices, I would have been at it all day just to try each inflatable out. Which, if the rumors were true, would have drained my bank account.Looks like great fun

My family and I had a great time at Bear Paw Beach! We bought our beach admission tickets in advance and printed them out at home. Unfortunately the cabanas were all booked up by the time we wanted to rent a cabana so I’d suggest booking one as far in advance as you can. Wear sunscreen and if you can bring some sort of shade since there isn’t much natural shade from trees near the beach. The water is clean and it was nice to see staff continuously walking around picking up and keeping the facilities clean. Beach admission prices do not include adventure island inflatable course so make sure you buy those tickets in advance as well and reserve your time slot. Our kids are still too small to experience the inflatables of adventure island but my niece and brother in law went on adventure island and they had a blast! Since my kids were too small for the adventure island inflatable course we took advantage of the park at the beach and jumping on the gigantic jumping pillow! We can’t wait to go back and enjoy some fun in the sun at Bear Paw beach.

This place is INSANELY expensive. They sell day passes on the weekend even though theyre already PACKED from the campground. We stayed at the campground and could barely get around or even swim it was SO packed! The entrance for the campers is the same for the day pass people. The opening to get in is so small its ridiculous because the line for adventure Island blocks the entrance. If youre paying a LOT of money to camp, you have to walk ALL THE WAY around to the entrance the day pass people use. It needs a separate entrance for the campers. Its really unfair. Food takes a minimum of 20 minutes. Not recommended.

This place is great! The beach gets a lot of sun. The chairs are comfortable. Adventure Island is a blast for ANYONE! P.S. falling is the best part. The tiki bar serves delicious specialty beverages and I highly recommend the pizza from their beachside eatery Eats & Treats. Staff is invested and kind. Will 100% be coming back for this beach!

Adventure island is a blast and worth the price of admission. At least during my families visit the bathroom was disgusting and the whole place is covered with yellow jackets. We barely had any food and the cabana was constantly swarmed with yellow jackets and made my experience incredibly irritating. I saw one guest stung in the cabana adjacent to me. We mentioned this to the staff and there was not much they can do to mitigate the annoyance and there was nothing else in place around the cabanas to prevent the yellow jackets from being there. I felt like every where I walked I was getting pestered by something and it ruined my overall experience.

Nice beach and kids had a great time on the obstacle course. Tickets were a little confusing. I purchased them online and when I printed them only one for my beach pass was included. The person checking us in almost kept the receipt but it was needed for Laser tag.

Fun place for the kids, but BEWARE my daughter got very sick from the contaminated water. We were there on Sunday and the next day she started feeling sick, abdominal pain, headache, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, doctor confirmed that she most likely got bacteria from the contaminated water in the lake. I wish they could make it more safe for the kids.

Fun for the kids, bring your own chairs since the beach gets crowded. Obstacle course is extra, but the kids had a blast.

This is a WARNING...DO NOT BOOK HERE AT ALL! Their Website is unavailable so U have to physically Call & they REQUIRE FULL PAYMENT. They TELL U if U have to cancel Ur entitled to UR FULL Refund (not even Surgery!) Unless its within 48hours. LIES We booked & paid & HAD to cancel called 17days in Advance..... Now theyre trying to charge $50. With COVID/PANDEMIC there shud be NO repercussions for booking & having to cancel. Hotels dont even penalize U given the unforeseen circumstances in the World. AGAIN.for the people in the back... DO NOT BOOK HERE!.....In Response To Ur rebuttal.... I would highly recommend that periodically u check ur website to ensure its 1) working the way it should and 2) pertains all the information a customer needs prior to booking. My other recommendation is that u make sure all ur employees are trained on all ur policies because i didnt use ur website when i booked because it wasnt working properly so i actually called and spoke to someone (whose name Ill leave out) and one of my questions was a refund and i was told i could get a full refund providing enough time was given. Im not a fortune teller i cant predict something that comes up. My last recommendation to u is ask more questions from the customer so u can learn how you can provide better service to an unsatisfied customer than to assume u stating ur policies solves the issues.

Very very frustrating experience. In spite of arriving 15 minutes early for our timed session on Adventure Island- we got on the island 25 minutes after the start time 100% because of the poor or should I say lack of customer service. We were forced to get off even though the late start wasn’t under our control.Lazy customer service person in building made a point of telling us that the bag of pretzels in our bag- wasn’t allowed. Supposedly there is no carry in allowed- not food or drinks, except water. Yet the people checking people in outside for AI were either blind or didn’t care because so many people were carrying in actual coolers & picnic baskets. Every side of the water had multiple people with full out picnics- sandwiches, fruit, salads, including chips & dips, etc. I guess the bag of pretzels didn’t qualify as a full picnic so wasn’t allowed. I honestly don’t care but if a venue has rule then enforce:apply to all. As to the lousy service & lack of full session- we won’t be back & hopefully this post will dissuade others from going to this place..

As a family we absolutely love this place! My youngest is eagerly awaiting to be tall enough for the adventure course, but my oldest already enjoys and loves it! It can be busy and the food isn’t the greatest on site. But overall for the pricing, amenities and location it is five stars and a regular on our calendar!

Enjoyed my visit to Bear Paw Beach! Large sandy area with plenty of lounge chairs. The Wibit is fun for kids and adults alike. Also in the fenced in area is a jumping pillow and playground. Next time I will rent a cabana! Great addition to the area/campground!

This beach is right behind my house so convenient. So peaceful, not over crowded which I love. Wonderful time for all ages. I almost dont want to tell people so it stays my hidden gem.

My son and I had a nice time but it was very pricey. $25 each to use the beach and only one hour on the inflatable coarse. There is another coarse like this in Fond du Lac that is under $20 for unlimited one day use. I was also very unhappy with service at the snack bar. Slow beyond belief! Flat soda, tasteless chicken tenders and fries. I think we will go back to Fondy next time.

Went on the Wibit and OMG was it a work out. i am 30 years old and I made it just shy of an hour. It is def made for kids and worth every cent. The water was amazing and felt great. VERY clean and the staff was very nice and interacted with the kids especially when they needed help figuring out which way to go or get back on after falling off. GREAT job Jellystone. :)

The beach, the water and facilities were good but way too pricey for families. If you want to order food, be prepared to wait for awhile and yet again, pay too much. Went with a friend to check it out and I dont think Ill be back with my children. I dont think its worth $14 a person
