What visitors say
Spacious habitats for current residents. The lack of a polar bear is felt as there are only two species (Arctic fox and muskox) residing in the Arctic Tundra area. Sven the Arctic fox is a great addition. Easy to zoom through as it is…
Plenty of viewing areas for the wolves and muskox. The polar bear exhibit was closed (probably due to heat). Watched the wolves get fed, lots of cool information about them! Lots of shady areas in this part of the zoo.
