Bear Exhibits... Journey Through Time Traditional Cache

This cache is located inside Assiniboine Park Zoo and there is an entrance fee. Placing trackables is not recommended in this high muggle area. Summer hours: open at 9:00 a.m. and gates close at 4:30 p.m. Winter hours: Open at 9:00 a.m. and gates close at 3:30 p.m.

The zoo had bear pits constructed in 1905 and 1908. The photo above was taken in 1942. A new bear exhibit opened in 1957 and was then renovated in 1967. This renovation helped Assiniboine Park Zoo establish the "Manitoba Standard", which was recognized as the best way to treat bears in captivity at the time. The old bear exhibit is now part of our Polar Bear Rescue Program, and the creation of Journey to Churchill in 2014 helps put the zoo back on the map for the best polar bear care practices.

Congratulations to Jesterphox, Semb, Bike4me, 0011mixam and JB on the FTF for this one!
