Bear Grottos
IN THIS EXHIBIT
ANIMALS
Have you ever wondered how you’d size up to a bear? Now you have a chance to find out.
Encounter an approximately 1,000-pound Alaskan brown bear nose to nose or hand to paw at the Bear Viewing Window located at Bear Grottos. Enrichment items are placed nearby to give the animals something interesting to discover while you observe the action up close.
Keepers also work with the bears at an adjacent training window so that animal staff and veterinarians can get a look at each bear’s paws, nails, teeth, and gums for wellness exams.
Bear Grottos isn’t just about brown bears, though. Polar bears and spectacled bears also offer guests some amazing, and enormous, experiences.
Imagine locking eyes with a spectacled bear high in a tree or watching a polar bear cub learn to swim. New adventures await at every corner!
