polar bear exhibit layout

I uploaded this at 2000 pixels, much larger than I usually do for ZooChat. However I figure some members might want to view the detail at a larger resolution. This was a sign at the entrance of Franz Josef Land, the name of their polar bear exhibit, showing the layout.

What is the Polardom exhibit building? Will that hold smaller arctic animal exhibits?

@DavidBrown No animal exhibits. It has a large central area with exhibits on antartic explorers (very minimal but nicely done). The round ramp on the outer edge circles upward and has underwater viewing at the bottom and large education panels on the upper walls. It ends at a polar bear overlook at the top.

Thanks for the tour, AD. Appreciated.

From the overview this looks like a really nice Polar Bear exhibit.

@ThylacineAlive It does. Definitely better than the one at the Bronx Zoo.

@Ebirah766 Bronx no longer has a Polar Bear exhibit.

@ThylacineAlive I know. When it was still around. It was horrible.

@Ebirah766 Horrible is a bit much but yes, it was pretty bad and I'm glad it doesn't hold animals anymore.

@ThylacineAlive Makes me think, what animals COULD go in there? You know, with a bit of modernization.
