FAQ
Can the wolves interact with visitors?
Yes. Wolves rely heavily on their powerful sense of smell to get to know new individuals. During the encounter, they may approach guests to investigate by sniffing around the face or clothing. In some cases, visitors may even experience the wolves greeting them as they would another member of the pack — by gently licking the face or giving what is often referred to as a “wolf kiss.” While this special moment cannot be guaranteed, it is considered one of the most unique and memorable wildlife experiences you can have in the Arctic.
Is Polar Park ethical and focused on animal welfare?
Yes. Polar Park is dedicated to high standards of animal welfare. The animals live in large, natural enclosures designed to replicate their natural habitats, and all encounters are carefully managed to ensure the wellbeing of both animals and visitors.
What should I wear for the Wolf Visit?
We recommend wearing comfortable outdoor clothing suitable for the weather and sturdy footwear. It is best to avoid clothing with many zippers, loose strings, or hanging details, as wolves are naturally curious animals and may be tempted to pull on them while exploring. Simple and durable clothing will help ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both you and the wolves
