Notes

This information has been summarised from Orsa Bear Park's website.

Orsa Bear Park is located in Grönklitt and is northern Europe's largest bear park. Here predators live in their natural habitat. Studying the animals in an environment where they are at home is an exciting and fascinating experience.

The park is open all year. 

Sweden's four large predators live in Orsa Bear Park in an environment that replicates their natural habitat.

The Bear Park, located in the middle of a wilderness, was originally planned around the winter lair of some wild bears during the 1960s. Today, some 90,000 square metres of large forests, swamps, rocks and such have been fenced in. Ramps and wooden walkways have been constructed leading into the area, which allow visitors to come within breathtakingly close range of the animals.
