Visit Philadelphia Zoo’s newly refreshed and upgraded Francis J. Carey Bear Country!  This state-of-the-art facility was built with the highest standards for animal care in mind, making it one of the best in the country for vulnerable bears. It includes the addition of a third bear habitat, dedicated behind-the-scenes indoor and outdoor den spaces to support breeding programs, and a brand-new Zoo360 trail – Gould & Potter Crossing – for the bears to explore, the first-ever for bears at Philadelphia Zoo. Not only does Carey Bear Country enhance the Zoo’s animal care program, it creates a dynamic, memorable and educational experience for guests of all ages and backgrounds. This is the biggest construction project at Philadelphia Zoo in over a decade!
