2.5 Acre American Black Bear Exhibit

Looks nice.

Are the black bears the only live animal exhibit at this place?

@DavidBrown The impressive Black Bear exhibit is practically worth the visit by itself, but there are a few more species as well. Here's the review from my Snowleopard's 2018 Road Trip thread:

The North American Bear Center and while a flaw is that it only contains 4 mammals (all American Black Bears) in a single habitat, it is an institution that is fairly new (2007) and exemplary in every other way. A significant, $1.5 million expansion in 2015 saw the 8,000 sq. ft. Northwoods Ecology Hall make its debut and the amount of bear material in the imposing, impressive building is staggering. There are newspaper clippings, books, articles, paintings, taxidermy specimens and everything one would want to know about American Black, Grizzly and Polar bears. The focus is on the first two species and there are a number of taxidermy specimens of other animals that are eerily realistic.

While visitors are puttering around the museum-like setting or watching film clips of bears in the small theatre, there are occasional announcements such as 'Tasha is now out in the main yard' and visitors amble over to the big viewing windows to see one of the center's 4 bears. Everyone is inside the building during the entire visit except for an overhead viewing deck and there is also an opportunity to attend a feeding/training session where visitors are only a few feet from the bears. I stayed an hour and during most of that time I was experiencing a brain overload of bear information. The American Black Bear living space is a gorgeous exhibit that is 2.5 acres in size, and inside the building there can also be found these species: Redbelly Snake (a real delight to see an active juvenile), Plains Garter Snake, Western Painted Turtle, Grey Tree Frog, American Toad, Monarch Caterpillar, Black Crappie, Walleye, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike.

Wow that sounds like How to Exhibit a Bullfrog.
