Swimming With Polar Bears

The Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat (CPBH) is the only captive bear facility in the world dedicated solely to polar bears. Through exceptional animal care standards, educational programs and research partnerships, the CPBH is an internationally respected centre for polar bears. Situated on five acres of northern Ontario terrain, visitors have the opportunity to take in northern landscapes while walking along our three large outdoor bear enclosures.





At the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat in Cochrane, Ontario, children are invited to swim inside a wading pool attached to a polar bear enclosure, getting as close to the Coca Cola mascot as safety, and five centimeters of shatterproof glass, permit.

“Staring into the eyes of an immense polar bear, while swimming only inches away from him, is to be remembered,” according to the habitat’s spokesman.

Sharing a moment with a polar bear? Priceless.
