Guests visiting the Journey to Churchill exhibit may observe a diver cleaning the underwater viewing tunnels every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 AM to 11:45 AM throughout the year. After the tunnels are scrubbed, the water can remain cloudy for up to two hours as the filtration system clears the debris, which may temporarily reduce visibility. However, seals will still be visible, and polar bears can be seen in other areas of their habitat during the cleaning process.
