SAN DIEGO ZOO POLAR BEAR INTERPRETIVE ELEMENTS

Interpretive Elements, including a helicopter, polar bear statues, and igloos create an educational playground. The elements are scattered among a walkway to invite the visitors to follow the polar bears on their journey in the wild and promote conservation. Large graphs in the shape of thermometers and refrigerators make learning fun for both parents and children and provide an exciting experience if the polar bears are not visible or sleeping.

A large mesh wall in the polar bear enclosure allows viewers to interact with the bears through a wire mesh. Displays promote conservation and encourage visitors to save the polar bears’ home.

Early contractor involvement streamlined constructability and cost controls to ft the project into the schedule and budget.
