In 2003, the zoo reopened the spectacled bear exhibit following a $1 million renovation.

Plans for future expansion include a new bear exhibit.

The zoo had initially planned to retire their polar bear exhibit after Mercedes died.

The polar bear exhibit is the only non-fish exhibit to have live fish in the aquarium.

Other features of the park included roller coasters, swings, a bear exhibit and a carousel.

Future plans include a Riparian Habitat Pavilion and a new bear exhibit.

The new bear exhibit will let the Center rescue additional bears.

World of Bears is the bear exhibit at Silver Springs.

In 1959, construction started on the dall sheep mountain and the Alaskan bear exhibit.

This was followed by the children's zoo (1971), and the polar bear underwater viewing exhibit (1986).
