At the Bear Centre in Kitula, Western Finland, you can enjoy one of the world’s most unique and safe close-up wildlife experiences as you watch wild brown bears on their own schedule; while bears are wild and free to move, you still have a very high chance to see them - a 90–99% probability depending on the month. You’ll learn that each season about 20–30 different bears visit the hide area, some evenings bringing several bears at once and sometimes with the nearest animal just a few meters from the Bear Watching House.
