Beautiful place to be with lots of opportunities. Tennis, fishing, running, biking, hammocking, casino. You name it, it can be done. With beautiful scenery.

Such a beautiful park with lots to do and explore. You can do walking, golfing, biking, kayaking, fishing, boating etc. there’s plenty of spots for picnic. You can visit the museums, fountain etc. the skyline looks beautiful from this side of the river. It’s a beautiful place to spend an entire day. The botanical garden was closed. But other than that there so much to do here. Do check them out.

Need Recreation Passport for entry, but seldom there's anyone checking though. You can beautiful view of Detroit downtown as well as the view of Windsor. Great time to visit during sunset hours across the view of Renaissance center as a background

Amazing reminising of the old days when that was our local park to just go to all the time. It all came back to me on my visit in 2019 when I had returned after almost 25 yrs of not being there. Such amazing feeling when it all comes back to u the min u see it.

I had the most beautiful time here. I enjoyed the outside nature and beautiful spot's of Belle Park. Take your family out and get some fresh air. Remember to take a look around what in front, behind you, and even on your side. You will be surprised if what pictures you may capture on your trip to this beautiful place.

An absolutely beautiful place, the aquarium and maritime museum were wonderful. I’ll have to come back in 2024 to explore the conservatory and gardens!

GREAT Park, wonderful gem in the city. Rivals central park. So much to do! Great place to bike! After shooting some golf with my boy, went on a bike ride and did some geo- aching.

This was my first trip to Belle Isle in 3 years. It was a beautiful summer day on July 4th weekend. There was a long line to get on this State Island Park, formerly a City of Detroit park. I have been coming here my entire life more than 60 years. Things have changed, mostly for the better. You now need a State of Michigan Recreation Pass to enter. Today was so busy the entrance sentry waived everybody through. My first observations are how clean the park now is. As far as I could observe all comfort stations are now open and very clean! Scott Fountain was so clean and beautiful I hardly recognized this iconic Detroit landmark! The beach is so nice and clean and family oriented that it was heart warming! Young children, ice cream truck and umbrellas abound!🌞The last time I was here the island was swarming with Michigan State Police cars pulling people over in mass. Today I did not see a single State Police officer, however I saw an inordinate amount of Michigan Conservation Officers, lights flashing and quite imposing. Obviously, we want a park where there is a presence of law enforcement, but it goes too far when you feel like a police state. All in all a very pleasant experience looking at Canada, the Detroit River, the freighters and friendly people!😃

Well the restrooms at the beach where nasty but, families from all walks of life where enjoying the hot weather....water was cool & refreshing... Traffic was a bit intense because of the Belle Isle (DETROIT GRAND PRIX coming 3 - 5: June 2022)..... sponsorship (GENERAL MOTORS, MICHELIN TIRE, CADILLAC RACING, & LEAR CORPORATION) PRIDE MONTH STARTING TOMORROW TIL END OF JUNE....GM & GMC ARE SUPPORTIVE TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY.

One of the coolest places I've been too. The staff was amazing and greeted us warmly, have my kids a scavenger hunt and sent us off. Going through the paths was incredible. All the flora is very well taken care of and is represented in the growth. The paths are very neat and tidy, and there was no crowding. If you're around Belle Isle you absolutely need to check this place out. I will definitely be coming back here to walk around more

Wanted to check out a nice nature spot before heading back to Wisconsin and I enjoyed my time there. There was a little bit of litter but the beauty of the views overshadowed that. Meditated for a little bit near where the water met the rocks and left for the road feeling good.

Hadn't visited the island in many years except for the annual indy car races which I love. Overall improvements are incredible. State park service is doing great work. 2 thumbs up!

Great place to spend time in summer/ fall!

Nice place to go. Lots of beauty. Could spend a whole day with the family there.

very beautiful park on the island. When you cross the bridge, you enter the freedom zone. Unfortunately, all walking complexes, such as the aquarium and the botanical garden, close very early, we did not have time to visit there. I would like to go longer on weekends. also a beautiful sunset point with a photo zone. the fountains are also no longer working, although the weather is still excellent.

Everything was closed. No terrarium, no aquarium. If it weren't for the place scapes it would've been a pretty dull day.

Great views of Detroit and the Detroit River. A must visit!

Belle Isle is such a gem. What a lovely place to spend an afternoon. I was disappointed that the conservatory and gardens, the aquarium, and the Dossin's Museum were closed, but the bathrooms are open and sparkling. Worth walking, biking, or picnicking.

Had a great time clean and peaceful

Belle Isle has always been apart of my life. I can't wait until it is at it's full potential. I live the beach, museum and water views.

State has a little work to do there since taking over. Looks like the gem is getting polished

A lot of gnats and goose poop but other then that, it's very nice. Big enough to where you wouldn't bump into anyone either.

Love Belle isle just beautiful so many great new improvement's fun for all

This has been my favorite place in Detroit since I was a little girl. My family used to spend the night on the island. We'd grill, play and sleep!! Glad to see it being brought back to its original beauty. Still the Best spot in Detroit!! Go see for yourself!

Wonderful island with a lot to discover on a day with new playground at the zoo and nice beaches and places to stop. Even on a busy day worth going as you will find a spot.

What a great place to get away for a day and enjoy the weather. A visit to the Aquarium is a definite must-do. The conservatory is another spot you should definitely visit and enjoy. The plant diversity in that building is simply incredible.

I absolutely love Bell Isle park bring back so many memories from when I was a kid everyone I look at was clean and quite I enjoy looking at the river and watching people fish

We loved Belle Isle! Very nice place to walk or ride a bike, several parks for the kids to play, we'll definitely go back

We went on a busy Saturday in July. This was such a fun place to visit. The aquarium and conservatory are definitely old, but in decent repair considering. It was cool to see a part of history.

Major renovation in progress. Most of park closed Will be back when complete.

Been a little while since I had been to Belle Isle. The park has had it's ups and downs over the years. It was a beautiful day. Seems as if the state is putting a effort into cleaning it up. I am pleased to see this. I hope they will bring the areas and structures donated by the caring people of Detroit. I imagine they see their donations slowly crumbling saddens them. The conservatory is the jewelry of the park. I sure we spend a majority of our time admiring the beauty. There is a donations box as you enter. I was disappointed to see very little in it in spite of the numbers of visitors. Please do your part.

Beautiful place. Nice bicycle trails. The aquarium and the conservatory are beautiful and worth the visit. One negative aspect though is the relative large amount of trash, specially plastic bottles, bags and packing everywhere you go. The metroparks receive better care.

Michigan State Parks is doing a nice job renovating/updating Belle Isle and it's facilities. We saw work progressing throughout the park when we visited in mid October 2020. I say "Thanks" to the State of Michigan for taking over the park and to it's employees and contractors for their work. We've always enjoyed visiting the island and are happy to see the updates.

Nice experience. Some part of the park is filled with bird’s defication. Loved the view of the park and we visited the park on Thanksgiving’s so it was completely empty which made our visit more enjoyable.

Belle Isle was very nice. The water was calming. The food trucks were delightful especially the chicken truck and the smoothie truck. Had a very nice time. The food was very good.

We were looking for an outdoor spot to eat lunch by the water. We saw this on Google maps and decided to give it a shot. We quickly found a nice grassy spot alongside the river. There were some bird around but they left us alone. After we ate and took pictures we drove around the island. It was beautiful with all of the trees showing their fall colors. I’m not sure why, but there was no admission fee, which was nice.

Great day at Belle Isle. The Aquarium and Nature Conservatory are definitely worth the trip. Don't miss the beautiful marble lighthouse.

My husband and I took part of the Susan G. Komen, walk for breast cancer 🎀. I was diagnosed last year in September 2022, with IDC and DCIS. I felt it was time to start taking action in the Breast Cancer Community and this was a start...Walking amongst those who are survivors, I felt the love and support ❤ 💕 it gave me a sense of hope. Belle Isle Park was the perfect scenery, watching the change leaves changing to fall colors, hearing the birds sing, and most of all, remembering when my mother would bring my sister and I there to play in the park and part take in activities. My husband and I enjoyed every bit of it. Gave us both a sense of calming.

So many memories! Detroit history wrapped in water and the smell of barbecued chicken. Family picnics and out door adventure in the heart of Detroit.

It’s a very beautiful place to visit. The drive is amago too. Go there and walk around or just sit down to see the beautiful view. I had a great time this time. I will definitely visit again soon.

This is my city. My beloved D. I've been going to Belle Isle for 38 years. It's part of my heart. It's so beautiful, and really makes Detroit unique. It's always a good time. I go when it's raining... I love my city.

Nice place for cycling. Rode bikes around the park with a few others. Visibility is great and vehicles traveling in the park were very respective of cyclists. There are bike lanes all around the park and the asphalt surface is smooth except for one minor rough spot that was under construction.

I did a 4.5 mile walk around the loop it was very invigorating Belle Isle is so beautiful this time of year

Been here a couple times, it nice. Currently closed due to COVID19

Great park for all seasons. Whether you want to go for a run, stroll through some nature or take some great pictures of Detroit from afar.

Day off, so I decided to check out the Island. Love hanging on the Isle, especially in the spring and summer.

It's always good to travel around where you frequent as a child

Belle Isle park is a beautiful park to ytake the family. The aquarium is great for kids. Very scenic and you may even be lucky enough to see a Bald Eagle! The fountain is also amazing!

Belle isle Park is a true gem in Detroit. There is a lot to see and do on this island. The aquarium, conservatory, and nature center maybe the Stars but with a little more exploring you will encounter much more.. wildlife (bald eagles, deer), lighthouse, and many hints of the past. Take a drive, take a bike ride, take a walk, whatever you do get out and explore. And for those of you wondering, YES the island is safe, I've never encountered a problem during numerous visits.

I have been coming here since I was a kid in the 80's and I can't get enough. Such an amazing location within a stone's throw of Downtown. Love it.

Such a beautiful place to take pictures go for a walk and commune with nature.

Great views

Great relaxing calm a gem!😍

Good place!

Every year we notice more amazing improvements.

The place is good for spending time with family and friends. The view is beautiful and the occasional view of ships crossing the lake is a treat to eyes. The botanical garden, butterfly garden, fountains and aquarium at one stop are best ways to spend quality time here.

One of my favorite place

Just beautiful and peaceful to drive around the island.

Better every year. Much cleaner!

Beautifully renovated!

Looking forward to seeing what plans the state has for this gem! Lots of improvements are being made... 😊

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place to walk, the island has a beautiful panorama of downtown Detroit (Original) Cudowne miejsce na spacer, z wyspy rozlega się piękna panorama downtown Detroit

A BEAUTIFUL ISLAND !!!!!

Beautiful day for a family outing.

Different seasons, different times of the day, a work in progress, always exciting to see the progress that has been so long overdue to this jewel

Belle isle park is getting much better than years ago when I used to go i will definitely return.

Such a beautiful place and now they have the whole island open it was totally awesome

Love Belle lsle🤩

Love it

Love visiting this island, great views, peaceful, quiet and the attractions are also worth seeing when they're open on the weekends

Nice view of both Detroit and Windsor but that's about it. Nothing special here.
