Visits to the Polar Bear Habitat & Heritage Village start at the Welcome Centre. The Welcome Centre includes a lobby for greeting guests, restrooms, gift shop and an interpretive room. In the interpretive room visitors can view films or participate in activities and speaker presentations.

When visitors leave the Welcome Centre they will follow a path to the Bear Viewing Building. Inside thealign= viewing building visitors will be able to watch the polar bear both above and under water. Come and watch this breath taking animal frolicking in the pool as only polar bears do! A unique wading pool is attaché to the polar bear pool to allow both children and adults to “swim with the bear!” (Open May 17, 2008 for the summer season)

From the viewing building continue down the path to visit the Heritage Village, a re-creation of an align=early 1900’s street complete with a garage, farm implementation dealership, doctor’s office, blacksmith shop, general store, farm house and of course for the snowmobile enthusiast – a snowmobile museum. The snowmobile museum houses antique snowmobiles from local collectors as well as from other communities. If you are interested in old snowmobiles and memorabilia – this is the place to visit. In 2006, a Snack Shack, Shoe Repair Shop, Schoolhouse and Barn were added to the Heritage Village.

Be sure to visit the second weekend of August for our annual Pioneer Days.
