We went to the Aquarium after for reception. ... my first time here ... I would like to come back on a pretty day ... Aquarium was nice ... pretty tile on the ceiling ....

    Beautiful place to spend some quality quite time and soak in the Detroit's skyline from distance. On the left side you can see Canada and on the right side you can see GM RenCen standing tall and mighty. Gives you a deep sense of nature midst of the busy concrete jungle and offers peace and quiet of a place far away from the metro cities. Traffic on the Belle Isle is very less, and you can find plenty of parking spaces to park your car. Also available at sunset point are a lot of benches and grills to have a quality picnic with your friends and family. Sunset point is fairly clean but keeping geese off is a big issue at this island. They tend to leave their mark all over the place. You will also find a great aquarium and a soccer club nearby. The Casino on the island is also worth checking out. The casino building has a beautiful faรงade and you can spend hours just marveling the beautiful architecture. The island also has a few play areas for kids all over the place. One place I wish they would have setup the kids play area should have been the sunset point.

    A truly wonderful view of the downtown of Detroit city at the sunset.๐ŸŒƒ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป A view taken across the Detroit river, which is a natural border between the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ and Canada ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ. Really amazing...!

  • 5/5 Chumly F. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is absolutely beautiful. Totally feels like you're in a different country with the view of Detroit and Windsor at the same time and looking over the river into both. Highly recommend coming over here during sunset and just hanging out with a blanket.

    A great view of the Detroit skyline and river. A nice place to watch river traffic and relax. The parking and restrooms make this a great place to start any visit to Belle Isle. The Scott Fountain is a short walk away and beautiful from this angle thanks to the reflecting pool and the cascade from the fountain down to the pool.

    Belly Isle is a nice place for picnic, relax, running or cycling. Sunset Point is on the edge of west side. You can see US on one side and Canada on the other side. You have nice view on Detroit city.

    " New picture frame at Sunset Point on Belle Isle! The panoramic view of the Motor City with its dazzling downtown Detroit city lights, especially when turned on, is truly breathtaking. It's an exquisite addition to this beautiful spot, deserving of a five-star rating!"

    Beautiful, fun area of Belle Isle. Nice restrooms with overpriced, but convenient soda and drink machines. The best time to be there is sunset for photo opportunities, but you can snap a nice pic at the point any time of day. A great place to capture a memory in Detroit. Hopefully the rest of the Riverwalk improvements will be completed by next summer so we can enjoy the outdoors in style.

    Beautiful view of both Detroit and Windsor, Canada. I was pleasantly surprised at the cute photo-op IG square with the skyline in the background, big enough for quite a few people to fit. However, the park was filled with litter. The trash cans were overflowing and there were full bags tied to trees. The seagulls were loving it. Definitely needs some maintenance (although I do blame the wind for most of it).

    A great place on the small island, You are just few meters far from Canada, stunning views of Downtown Detroit and Windsor, Canada. A perfect place for Photography. This place is not properly managed these days. We can see lots of trace all around this park. Restroom are closed and dirt everywhere outside of the building. Vending machine are not working and empty. Enough parking spot and awesome atmosphere. Nice place to visit. Good for everyone ๐Ÿ™Œ

  • 3/5 Steven D. 4 years ago on Google โ€ข 31 reviews
    I mean if you want to sit on a bench and stare at the water this is a great place. Cost nothing to drive out to and no parking fee but other than sitting and staring there's absolutely nothing to do. They did have somewhat clean bathrooms though.

    This is a great place to sit and watch the sunset with the city across the water as a back drop , being over 900 acres there's plenty of room to find a spot on the island.

  • 5/5 Khaja Moosa Salahuddin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place especially in evening. Practically you're near to Canada and can see Canada better, missing only if it had a better skyline on that side, nevertheless Detroit skyline looks great from here. Place might look little worn-out and now have mostly become land of geese and ducks and other creatures.

  • 5/5 Patrick B. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice location. We enjoyed the views while we spent the day with friends and family

  • 5/5 C B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful location to sit and watch the sun set. You can watch from comfortably inside your own car, grab a blanket and sit outside or walk along the water. Also makes for some great photographs as well.

  • 4/5 Marcus W. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a wonderful spot to watch the sunset. It would be even better if the area wasn't covered with goose poop. The walkway was tolerable but the grass is covered in the stuff. Other than that, there are places to sit to watch the sunset and there are tables to eat at.

  • 5/5 Zach D. 3 years ago on Google
    Best view of the sunset in Detroit! Worth going at all times of the year and setting up (or parking in the winter) in different areas along the point. Each spot gives a slightly different perspective of the city and with the sun never setting at the same spot youโ€™re always seeing something new.
