Polar Bear

A polar bear can weigh around 500 kg and survives by catching seals from the sea ice in the Arctic. At Skandinavisk Dyrepark you can experience the world’s largest land-dwelling predator in a unique polar bear park. Skandinavisk Dyrepark’s Polar Bear Park is undoubtedly the best place in the world to experience polar bears up close. The Polar Bear Park at Skandinavisk Dyrepark covers an area of ​​26,000 square metres and is recognised by experts as one of the world’s best facilities for polar bears. You will experience polar bears as they live all summer long, when the sea ice has melted and they are wandering on the tundra. The park has lots of hills, tree trunks, large rocks, a huge lake of 5,000 square metres and a smaller lake of 350 square metres. The large lake is 5 metres deep at its deepest point, and the polar bears love to take a dip in the cooling water. The polar bears spend most of their day playing in the water, scratching themselves on large rocks and logs, taking a stroll around the facility or snuggling up for a little midday nap. With so much space, you might think that the polar bears are hard to spot. But that’s not the case. Uniquely, a 220-meter-long walkway winds through the facility, allowing you to see the polar bears right at eye level or swimming right under your feet. It’s truly breathtaking to experience these great Arctic giants so close!
