The exhibit offers a National Park-like experience, featuring more than 30-thousand new plantings which replicate prairie, temperate forest, and tundra landscapes. Walking along a winding path, guests will encounter iconic and culturally-significant North American species while learning about their past and present status, and threats to their survival.
Highlights include views of bison roaming across a vast prairie setting and three bear habitats each with natural substrate and water features containing between 78-thousand and 80-thousand gallons-- plus an underwater viewing area which allows guests to watch polar bears swimming.
