"A wonderful place with beautiful scenery. Plenty to walk/drive around to see. Plenty of animals with incredible facts from the staff. So glad to see a place that will help with the polar bear population and other animals. Liked watching the 2 male bears (Walker and Arktos) devour carrots and apples. Worth the journey. Also, Moss was cool." - Lee
