 Polar Bear
Crossing
Under Construction
Polar bears will move from one side of
the exhibit to the other across an overhead transfer chute
designed to look like a mine track. For visitors this close
proximity to the bears will help create the sense of being
temporarily immersed in this unusual town.
Learning will be
an Adventure in Glacier Run
Under
Construction
The Old School House in Glacier Run
will have a multitude of uses. During the day students will
utilize the facility for hands-on, minds-on interactive learning
experiences. A look outside the window will bring them nose to
nose with polar bears, and arctic themed curriculum will help
them understand the impact that global climate change is having
on our planet.
In the evenings the school can be
rented for after hours events and meetings – or used for Zoo
overnights.
Seal and
Sea Lion Habitat
Under
Construction
Right in the center of Glacier Run,
along the waterfront, seals and sea lions will play and bask in
the sunlight. The 140,000 gallon recycled salt water pool can
hold a dozen of these popular and intelligent marine mammals.
Both underwater and above ground viewing will be available. A
spacious amphitheatre will make it more comfortable for visitors
to view the animal training and enrichment presentations.
 At
the Edge
of Town
Under Construction
At the edge of Glacier Run a glacier
appears to have crashed down into the town, blocking the road in
the process. Amazingly this actually makes up one of the sides
of the 80,000 gallon salt water polar bear exhibit, where these
magnificent bears live, play and wait patiently for their next
tasty meal. |
