POLAR FRONTIER in North America
Polar Frontier is a state-of-the-art interactive exhibit that will be home to two polar bears, two Alaskan brown bears and Arctic foxes.
Polar bears are back! Their new 1.3-acre yard is specially designed to be the ultimate polar bear habitat - with lots of rocks, two pools, smell ports, dig pits and shelters. The still pool is about 167,000 gallons and has areas where guests can view the bears from above, at eye-level and from below.
Polar Frontier also includes the Batelle Ice Bear Outpost - an interpretive center with engaging games. There is also a polar themed playground area for children.
