    The Columbus Zoo is a great place to visit for all ages and lights make it even more magical. The whole center part of the Zoo is setup to the music and my kids really enjoyed it. They have hot chocolate that keeps you warm on that chilly night. If you have not gone to the Zoo lights for Christmas, well what are you waiting for??

    Polar bears were very active today. One of the girls was showing off her swimming skills and putting on a show.

    In love with the polar bear exhibit, they're so playful and friendly with each other. Went here as a date & this was definitely my favorite part of the whole thing. Great for kids or for dates or even just adults who need a good smile and to feel like a kid again for a little 💖

    All I have to say is the polar bears are amazing. It is insane how big they really are.

    I just happened to catch a feeding time! Small fish were tossed on the rock to draw her in. Fish food was spread, and they went crazy for it, making a great photo moment!

    Beautiful zoo with so much ground to cover. We got lucky and got to see the polar bear right in front of the glass up close and personal. She never went for a swim but seeing the underwater exhibit was still really cool.

    The polar experience in the Columbus zoo is like all of the zoo really well laid out, thought out and executed. Definitely worth a visit

    The zoo is amazing and the habitats are great. Love the underwater viewing area. The problem is we have been to it about 5 times. Only 1 time of the 5 were the Polar bears even out where you can view them. It would be nice to see them at least, even if they are sleeping

    By far the best exhibit at the zoo that day! They were out playing and being social. It was an amazing experience. I recommend everyone to take a day and experience the amazing Polar Bears at the zoo!

    Not many animals in this section. There's a building in the center for kids to play. There's also a playground was is closed for the winter.

    All of the animals were very active! The polar bear was taking a dip in the pool and the arctic fox was running around playing with toys! Even though the zoo was busy it wasn't hard to see any of the animals!

    Aurora and Lee are out for viewing. They had Kulu on Thanksgiving 2019. Lee went to Louisville for breeding but returned to Columbus this spring. You can view from above and can go below and view them swimming and or catching fish. Definitely worth it.

    Polar bears are my favorite and the Columbus Zoo is awesome!

    Zoo is our favorite place to visit. We enjoy the animals as well as the plants. This zoo has gone down in the past years. Less attention to plants and walkways. Won't stop us from supporting the animals.

    I did enjoy seeing Santa Claus and getting my pictures taken but the price was worth it but it wasn't

    We love walking the zoo and seeing the animals. Our last visit, 1/7, last night of zoo lights, was a very chilly night. We went earlier in the evening (4ish) and got to see the staff working with the sea lions. They were doing tricks for their "dinner". Very entertaining. Great memories for my 2 little boys (1.5yrs and 3yrs). Thank you for always being great Columbus Zoo!

    We attended during wildlights so none of the animals were out. The polar bear was in her den and is thought to maybe be pregnant. Guess we will see next spring or summer.

👍👍 Someone did a good job with their habitat! These creatures are amazing and this was one of my favorite parts of the visit, as well as the kids. He was looking at me looking at him....wow! They also did a slightly unpleasant thing to see, like eating hay and spitting it out just to eat it again, but,...
