      Good to hear that they don't have any bears living here anymore. I wonder what are they going to use this for.

      Is this exhibit still empty as of 2021, or has it been torn down or remodeled?

      @DavidBrown It's been almost a full 13 years since I took this photo and there are still brown bears in the exhibit. This enclosure is far too small and doesn't look too different from 1920s-era grottoes. Indianapolis Zoo would do well to overhaul the entire 'Forests' zone of the zoo into a cohesive set of exhibits, or at the very least pile some natural substrate on the 1980s cement for the bears.
