Each fall, hundreds of these magnificent animals migrate to Churchill as they wait for the Hudson Bay to freeze. You’ll explore the Churchill Wildlife Management Area, home to the largest concentration of polar bears in the world, and will make lifelong memories as you get up-close-and-personal with arctic wildlife.
