Bear Habitat

Opened spring 2011

A glacier appears to have advanced on the town of Glacier Run blocking the road in the process. Amazingly this actually makes up one of the sides of one of the outdoor the bear habitats.  This area is just part of the large Glacier exhibit for the bears where they can also play in the 80,000 gallon pool, dive off rocks, explore dig pits and explore.  The indoor Bear Alley exhibit in the center of town offers fun diversions for bears and visitors.
