DULUTH, Minn. – A major exhibit is now finished after being closed for nearly a decade at the Lake Superior Zoo.
After nearly 9 years of being closed, the Lake Superior Zoo’s Bear Country Exhibit is finally finished and is the home for two brown bears and two otters.
The exhibit was a more than $3.8 million investment.
It closed after the flood of 2012 after a culvert got plugged up with debris as water started to come through Kingsbury Creek, eventually flooding the zoo and killing 14 animals.
