Readers' Opinions
good ride - tyler bell This is a good simulator. Take a seat in the back row for a more stimulating ride. Polar Express at Christmastime is superb. - William Clark Amazing if you get to swim with the Belugas I had an amazing time. - Nicholas Kalscheuer I love this ride. But what's even better is seeing the polar bears once your out of the ride.! - Katie Michaels Wild Arctic is a very nice attraction. The ride itself is pretty good and better than the similar Star Tours ride at Disney. The exhibit after the ride is also brilliant. It features all sort of animals from the arctic and the theming makes you really feel like if you are in an arctic station. The whole attraction is wonderful and is an absolute must do. It also a great place to go when the weather outside is hot. Wait times for the ride aren't really long, usually never exceeding the 20 minute mark. - Manny Barron Meh, its good. I prefered the Christmas Polar Express version. Good if the queues are short but I wouldn't queue more than about 15 for the ride or 10 for the walk on. Exhibits are nice enough. Great escape on a hot day, nice AC. Wish they'd offer an option to go in without having the view the absolutely boring pre-rise video! - Gareth H The ride is good. The exibits were nice, but didn't like the very small enclosure the polar bear was in. Thought it was way too small for such a large, roaming animal. Overall, a good attraction. - Gil Long Despite the dated simulator, I feel this attraction is a wonderful experience all the way through. Do not appraoch this soon after the Shamu shows end...the line will be unbearable. - Wilfredo Alvelo the ride is mediocre, but the exhibit after is probably the best exhibit in the park. you really feel like you are in the arctic. also its wonderful on a hot day because there is this big wall of ice in the first room that you can just lean against for a few minutes to really cool you off. beautiful beluga whales and polar bears. there are also walruses. sometimes they come and rub against the glass and you can feel it vibrate. i'd recommend going into this exhibit from the back way (through the wild arctic gift shop) so you can skip the ride. - roxy m
