Inuit Village
In this replica of an Inuit village on the tundra in the early 1900's, visitors will see how people used to live in this unique habitat, as well as learning how far they are from home and from other locations in the great expanse of the Arctic.
 Arctic Fox
Visitors will experience these charming animals -- often seen with bears in the wild -- with bears in the background, as their unique relationship is interpreted.
 Tundra Land Bear
Grassy meadows and a shallow fresh water pool show visitors the environment polar bears inhabit during the summer, and give the bears a natural experience.
Nunavut Gallery
This indoor experience prepares visitors for the change from tundra to open sea, with underwater animal views, a cultural display of Inuit art, and interpretive graphics.
Polar Passage
The spectacular 70 foot long Polar Passage takes visitors through the 300,000 gallon aquatic environment, passing under swimming bears and seals to the polar ice pack habitat.
 Seal Holding
In this facility, behind-the-scenes work goes on to keep the ARL's seal population healthy and happy.
Exploration Station
Passing through a real ice cave at the end of the Polar Passage, visitors will feel like Arctic researchers as they enter this station, filled with all the supplies necessary for scientific exploration. Children can enter a special glass bubble to be surrounded by seals.
 Pack Ice Bear
Snow, ice, and rocks provide visual drama for visitors, while an iceberg making machine and other hidden devices supply stimulation for the bears in this extreme environment.
 Snow Goose
These migratory birds breed in large colonies during the brief Arctic summers; their wavy lines in flight are a familiar sight during spring and fall across much of North America.
