Polar Park from Tromsø with Arctic Route

General information

This tour is operated by Arctic Route, part of Best Arctic.

Join a winter day trip from Tromsø to Polar Park, the world’s northernmost animal park. The package includes return bus transport from Tromsø and admission to the park, where you will have approximately three hours to explore at your own pace.

The bus journey from Tromsø to Polar Park takes up to three hours and passes through the winter landscapes of Northern Norway. At the park, you can observe Arctic animals such as moose, reindeer, muskox and red deer. Polar Park is also home to Norway’s four largest predators: brown bears, lynx, wolves and wolverines.

The animals live in large areas designed to resemble their natural habitats. They may therefore move out of sight, and sightings of every animal cannot be guaranteed.
