Exhibits at the Maryland Zoo
Polar Bear Watch, the Zoo's new state-of-the-art exhibit about life on
the edge of the Arctic, features an authentic Tundra Buggy® from which
visitors can watch Alaska and Magnet cavort in and out of the water. At
our camel ride exhibit, visitors get up close and personal with our
favorite humped animals. Be sure to take a ride on the back of one of
these incredible creatures. Visitors learn about animals in their own
backyard, as well as those in more exotic locales, when they take a trek
through the Maryland Wilderness , home to the award-winning Children's
