Russia’s Yeti Park Takes Aim at Believers

by Steph Spencer

A new tourism attraction is being planned for Russia surrounding one of the country’s coolest items of folklore. Yeti Park is intended to be a place where those interested in cryptozoology, specifically the legendary yeti, can channel their interest and delve deeper into the subject.

Organizers of Yeti Park in Siberia hope to overcome the skeptics, with a dedicated facility to house yeti-related artifacts. They have pinned their hopes on obtaining an actual yeti for the collection thanks to a million-ruble bounty offered by the local Governor.
