About
Polar Park is an animal park in Bardu Municipality in Troms county, Norway. The park opened on 18 June 1994, displaying animals in their natural habitat.

The park specializes in Nordic fauna, including Norway's four largest predators: brown bear, Eurasian lynx, wolf, and wolverine. There are also moose, muskox, red deer, and reindeer. In October 2015, hunters accidentally wandered into the park's area and shot two red deer. As of July 2024, the number of each species resident in the park are listed on the park's website as follows:
