1. Canadian Polar Bear Habitat
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 150 reviews
There is no other place in the world like the Canadian Polar Bear Habitat. It offers the most space in the world for polar bears in human care, all while providing unique research opportunities for polar bear specialists. The Habitat is currently home to Ganuk, Henry, Inukshuk, and Eddy, who could not survive without human help. These four bears have 24 acres of pristine, subarctic and boreal terrain to roam, including a 10-acre lake. The best time to see the bears is usually in the mornings when they are at their most active. Since the bears have as much control over their environment as possible, they choose when and where to eat, swim, sleep, or explore. You may have to be patient to get the best views, but they’re worth it. The Habitat offers daily talks with Animal Care Staff to provide guests a chance to speak one-on-one with the people who take care of the bears. While you-re on-campus, check out the Heritage Village (seasonal), the Snowmobile Museum, and the Gift Shop.

Saw the bears being fed and playing with enrichment toys. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and answered all our questions. Cute little village with antiques as well. Learned a lot! Worth the drive.
