Interesting - not quite sure what I think about "the Tundra Buggy-feature" but it is always nice to see a variety of substrates in a polar bear exhibit. How big is it?
 
I've never visited this zoo, but I know that visitors enter the tundra buggy and view the bears through the windows. It is supposedly an average exhibit but a unique viewing opportunity that mimics the "polar bear capital of the world". That is a city in Canada called Churchill, where tourists descend every fall to view the hundreds of bears that congregate near Hudson Bay. The polar bears wait for the ice to thicken so that they can go hunting for seals.
 
How big is it?

There is still a good amount of room to the right of the picture. The buggy is used for a viewing area and a way to separate the two polar bear yards. The other yard is similar in size and most times I have visited they had access to both yards. It is one of my favorite polar bear exhibits.
 
That's an actual used buggy from churchill.

I would also say this exhibit is abover average, especially when comparing to to other polar bear(or any bear) exhibits.
