A consignment of ice was delivered to the award-winning park after a generous donation from The Ice Co, the nation’s biggest producer of ice.
YWP’s Carnivore Team Leader Kim Wilkins said: “Our polar bears absolutely loved playing around in the ice. They were in their element. It was a real Half Term treat."
Kim said: “We offloaded the ice cubes mostly by hand and created three mountains of fresh water ice cubes, the largest was almost 4ft high."
The Ice Co learnt that animals adore playing with the different textures so donated ice to the park, at Branton, near Doncaster.
The company, based at South Kirkby, delivered the ice to the park which is 20 miles from their base.
“We sometimes have additional ice and a member of the team put forward the idea of sending ice to the park for the animals to play with,” said a spokesman for The Ice Co.
