Polar Park — Zoo in Bardu Municipality

Polar Park and its collection

Polar Park, opened in 1994, is a zoo in Bardu, Norway.

Opened on 18 June 1994, the park shows animals in natural surroundings and claims the title of northernmost animal park. Just 12 enclosures are spread across 110 hectares, a ratio of space to animals it claims is among the best anywhere. The collection concentrates on Nordic wildlife, including the country's four largest predators: brown bear, lynx, wolf and wolverine.
