Polar Park

Polar Park is the world’s northernmost wildlife park and, since opening in 1994, has focused on animal welfare and providing animals with natural surroundings. The Nordic region’s large predators and hoofed animals live in spacious enclosures with forests, shrubs and varied terrain, giving them plenty of room to move around.

During your visit, you can explore the park at your own pace and look for animals such as brown bears, wolves, lynx, wolverines, Arctic foxes, moose, deer, musk oxen and reindeer. Because the animals have large areas to roam, they may sometimes retreat into the vegetation. However, many of them are social and curious, and if you allow plenty of time for your visit, there is normally a good chance of spotting several of the species.

You can also join a scheduled predator guiding tour with one of the animal keepers. The tour offers a closer look at lynx, wolverines, bears, wolves and Arctic foxes, while the keeper shares insights into their behaviour, lives and adaptations to the Nordic environment. Predator guiding is included in the regular admission ticket.

The park also has a restaurant and café, a souvenir shop, a children’s activity area, and fire pits that can be used during the summer. You can buy food in the park or bring your own food and drinks.
