Russia’s Grizzly Coast Opening Weekend: June 7
Imagine yourself face-to-face with a grizzly bear. Laugh at the playful antics of sea otters. Catch a glimpse of the beautiful and rare Amur leopard. Join the Minnesota Zoo at the grand opening of Russia’s Grizzly Coast—a spectacular new $23.6 million exhibit, representing one of the last true wilderness areas on earth.
African Adventure 3D: Safari in the Okavango
For many of us, Africa remains a distant and inaccessible place. Now however, there is an opportunity to visit the Okavango Delta, one of the most unique wilderness areas on this fascinating continent, in African Adventure 3D: Safari in the Okavango, showing exclusively at the Great Clips IMAX Theatre at the Minnesota Zoo.
The Delta, created by the flood waters of the Okavango, is so large it can be spotted from deep space like a giant hand, bringing relief to this desolate region. Little-known to the outside world until a few decades ago, this secluded 20,000 square km maze of lagoons, channels and islands forms one of the most beautiful and pristine wildlife reserves on Earth.
