Luved it! We thought it was cute when the polar bear took a little break above our heads.

Amazing experience! Seeing them in the snow was beautiful.

I'm sad these two cubs are moving on to a new home! They were so playful. The tunnel gets VERY loud and crowded so if you or your kids get overstimulated easily, maybe not the best place, but it is beautiful when you catch the animals in action. I miss the ice wall though! Wish they'd bring that back!

There were no polar bears!! Supposedly being moved, wish we had been notified instead of spending $25 per person and wasting one of my sons days home on leave from the army to see nothing, there were a lot of the exhibits that were "closed due to rehabilitation" call ahead, don't waste your time and money

Always take my 1 year old here, he loves it. Most magical place to take a child

The polar bears were all outside and visible when we visited despite it being a very hot day. The line was a bit longer to get in but was worth it.

I really enjoyed seeing the polar bears, they were active and playful.

The bears were out and in view there wasn't a wait to walk threw and see them. They did seem kinda unhappy and maybe too hot im no polar bear expert but it seems like they should be in a cooler environment.

The seals were showing off and so much fun to watch! But their enclosure seems a bit small. Hope to see it enlarged soon. Polar bears were cool too.

This guy was so active. He seemed really happy tamping around outside and then playing in the water. It was fun to watch him do polar bear stuff

We Love visiting the arctic ring (even though the polar bears are a rare sighting). It is currently only open part of the way through before they turn you back around towards the entrance because all of the buildings are currently closed due to covid. Hoping they will open them up again soon, but until then we are still enjoying the rest of the zoo weekly😊

Beautiful experience seeing the Polar bear at the Detroit Zoo. Could spend hours watching. The kids loved every minute here.

I haven't been to the Detroit Zoo in Years but the polar bear were extremely cute And its cost Some $ If u Eat at all there Concession Stands one hat cost 13teen dollars, and the sluggish's cost 9 dollars And I didn't have enough time before it closed to ride the train but that Long walk and seeing all the animals were worth it my Granddaughters Loved it

Even though A lot of things are closed because it’s not their season me and my family still had fun seeing the penguins, gorillas, and monkeys also the polar bears we’re Cool to see and me and my brother liked looking at the lizard exhibit in seeing the camels I love my experience

We always have a yearly membership and love visiting the zoo.....

This is a very important exhibit. It should be a top priority. This last time I visited the bear area seemed to be bleak. One bear was pacing in a small area and two others were sitting staring into space. They had added some sea otters to the exhibit (separate from the Polar Bears). They were far off in the submerged viewing area. It was clear what they were. We were looking for the seals but had no information on where they went. Someone had thrown some thick liquid on the inner surface of the acrylic viewing tube. There wasn't anything to view in the tube tank. Not even a fish.

The zoo just keeps getting better every time we go back. It's alot of walking but there is so much to see. The enclosures are huge for the animals (which is amazing) The volunteers were so friendly talking to my kids. It was amazing even on a rainy day! The dino experience was super enjoyable even for my older kids. We had a great time.

Was a great time the bears were very active

Front entrance is under repair. Enter at backside. Two different lasvegas to enter.

The polar bear exhibit was the best! The polar bears were active and very playful with their toys. Avoid long lines by purchasing tickets in advance. My wife and I qualified for senior admission, $32 each. Our two grandchildren were $32 each. Worthwhile day spent at The Zoo!

All the animals were amazing! I loved seeing the polar bears and the otters. Some of the exhibits were down due to influenza but it's good to see them keeping their animals safe.

No polar bears, and a plethora of adults ignoring the zoos indoor makes mandates and just sitting in the tunnel for prolonged periods of time despite almost every child under 12 not yet eligible for a vaccine. Go here if you want to disappoint your child with the lack of polar bears and put them at an unnecessarily high risk of catching COVID.

Was so sad. Didn't really get to see anything artic. Caught glimpses of the polar bear. But no artic fox sightings or penguins

It was really nice we got to see polar bears, artic foxes and also otters

Bummer. When our family visit this place, it was unoccupied. Really have challenges to explain to the young one. But we managed to take a glimpse of sea otter swimming backward. Kind of awesome. May not visit again because we are going back to our home country soon.

Wonderful setting to view mother polar bear Suka frolic with cub Astra while Nuka keeps a watchful eye in the distance.

Had so much fun at the zoo!! Got to see the polar bears eat. Plus saw the baby polar bear😁

Lol peacocks everywhere! Love see the kangaroos!

Seeing kangaroos up close was very exciting!

Cool exhibit with open access to kangaroos and wallabes.

I would watch the kangrazoos all day, if I could!😁

Purchased the family pass for the 1st time. I'm loving it so far !!!! Call the Zoo get some information, there well worth the money and equals more frequent trips to the Detroit Zoo !!!!

Didn't get to see the polar bears but we did get to see the sea otters. Well maintained, the volunteers were very knowledgeable

It was my first time watching a Polar bear. They are huge and cute. Fluffy white and adorable.

Bears look happy and healthy and like they have a lot of enrichment! Got lucky enough to see them the other day. Props to the staff for doing all that they can to keep these guys happy

It's such a nice place! Staff is very helpful and polite. The food was good, I'm my opinion. Was a good day trip for my girlfriend and I. The butterfly and bird buildings are beautiful, The architecture of these buildings is indicative of the time period they were constructed.

Great exhibit at the zoo! We watched one of the polar bears play in the water from one of the viewing areas that gave us a view of both the surface and underwater. There's also a "fishbowl" tunnel under the polar bear pool that's totally encased in clear glass do you can get a total 360 view of the pool.

It was nice Penguins. was active and moving around

I was a little disappointed with this exhibit. One polar bear was just pacing back and forth where you could barely see him for a while while one just laid there.

Gorgeous zoo!! Beautiful walking paths. Lots to see and do!!

1st visit was well over $100 for 2 adults and 2 kids. I was able to turn my receipt in for credit towards a membership (just had to pay $17-20 more). We have been back 5 times since then and only had to pay for snacks. I suggest eating a meal before going & and packing a lunch to take with you. Great experience and exercise. Park is well maintained. Friendly staff.

Had a great time! The line was long but move fairly quickly. All the animals except the lions were out and about. Both the penguins and polar bear came right up to the windows. The penguin area was the kids(2and 4) favorite followed closely by the the polar bears! All the facilities were clean and stocked and every staff member we interacted with were knowledgeable and friendly.

Love the exhibit here, especially when mom and dad need a quick AC break on a hot day. If you are lucky enough to vatch the polar bears, they are quite spectacular!!

According to me, a must see exhibit for everybody. The glass tunnel provides a great view of the polar bears playing inside the water.

I love the Arctic ring of life. You can occasionally see polar bear swimming over you. It does not happen all the time. There was seals here but they are now gone and sea otters are in their place. They're still working on the whole area. I don't think you can see the Arctic foxes at this time, but you can also go outside and see all the bears on the tundra

Glad,surprized and thankful they were open.The exhibit,shelter,creature good,toddler joint,who- nhanny good joint was clean and exherating.Just didn't see them swimming this time;but thank you Detroit Zoo,may many more years come to you good employees and the good zoo creature residents.

Fun

The transparent tunnel you get to walk through is AMAZING and it is so much fun to see the polar bear(s) flying above and around you!!

Awesome experience. I've been in the past when the bears weren't active, but today around noon they were swimming and playing. Also the sea otters are very entertaining. The exhibit is well made.

This place is amazing. There is a glass tube you can work through to see the polar bears. It was really cool seeing them under the water. Our timing was perfect, the two bears kept swimming above us for the 15 minutes we were there.

Inside part is not open.

Didn't have a lot of animals out got my hopes up

Very knowledgeable staff!

it wasn't open. Disappointing that the Detroit zoo didn't have anything open because of whitmer.

They where closed the day we were there, but it's the Zoo, Love it.

Loved this place

Some of it was closed off when we went but the animals were still able to be seen outside and in the water. It was very clean and beautiful!! I saw the polar bear and the sea lion (I believe).

The polar bear ring was closed due to Covid

It is a nice exhibit

Wasnt open

Constantly improving the exhibits for the welfare of the animals and we who love to see them. Felt very Covid safe as we walked the zoo.

Fall is the perfect time to visit! Not to hot and the animals are more active.

It's great. Take the kids. Have fun

I was expecting to see a lot of animals for what it cost to get in but no very few not worth the time to go here

Updated 11/20. No more seals at all and they're not coming back. Love going through here on every trip to the zoo. The opportunity for up close underwater photos of the seals as well as the polar bears is fantastic. Recently (June through August 2018) it had a refresh/remodel of concrete and paint, and all the glass was polished. Disappointed that one of the seals (Keenak) was sent away, and isn't coming back.

Always a great time at the Detroit Zoo. Although the inside was closed. It was still a great time

Not open.

it was closed

It's truly wonderful! I could spend a whole day watching them play and wander around.

Favorite exhibit at the zoo!!! It's been redone since I was last there, and it was an incredible time.

My visitors from Germany along with my grand children sure enjoyed the zoo and all the animals! We got to see the polar bear too and all the penguins! Great time we had and the weather was perfect!

I never realized polar bears could be so off-white! This part of the zoo is one of my favorites and my little one can't get enough of it either! No trip to the zoo is complete for us unless we go through the Arctic Ring of Life. This exhibit is a major win and a definite crowd pleaser!

Very disappointed that there werent any polar bears out. Not quite sure where they were, but that's a LONG walk for quite a bit of disappointment!

Completely empty, no animals though this exhibit. Area where you can see animals is closed, so no more seeing underwater habitat of polar bears.

Really cool place to take your kids and grandkids.

Polar bears are my favorite animals, I am so happy here

An outback adventure!!😍

I went here for a work outing— had a blast!!!

Ok this veiwing I don't understand since it's part of the Detroit zoo but if that's the case the Det zoo is always loved by all and all familys love it can't wait for Dinosauria to come back

😁😁😁

The polar bear was very playful, tossing his toy in the water and diving in after it. The glass tunnel under the water offered an amazing view.

The zoo was very enjoyable on senior citizen day all caregivers get in for free.

Polar bear hasn't been at the zoo at all the summer of 2019

It was great but never seen the polar bears even the people work said they never seen them 😔

Love the zoo. Period!!!!Take kids they shut up! Always nice people

Really love this exhibit! Family favorite!

Very nice exhibit

The tunnel is closed because of covid....so we didnt have a great experience....when the tunnel is open its one my favorite things at the zoo

Down right cool. Great experience if you havnt been there

The Detroit Zoo is fun

Wonderful experience never been disappointed here

The Detroit zoo is a wonderful place to visit. The Arctic Ring of Life is only one of the outstanding exhibits there.

The inside part was not open.

Polar bear tunnel is closed due to pandemic

We love the polar bear habitat here. The viewing tunnel is a great way to see them. It can get crowed at normal times, but this has been closed during the COVID-19 outbreak. We look forward to returning to the view-tube soon!

First time I've seen the polar bears out in the summer months. They were playing with each other and walking around. They're beautiful

This was worst visit to the zoo. Hardly any animals out and a lot of exhibits were closed. Most expensive walk I ever paid for. However food courts were alp open ?? Go figure.

Brrrr, but not so cold. It was a grand sight to behold. Goblin Approved, and really neat. Just don't go swimming, those cute foxes like to nip at your feet. A Gobtastic experience for one and all, say hi to the bears when they wave a paw.

We did not see any polar bears at all until the end. The polar bear was pacing back and fourth. And it was a bummer that we could not go inside of the building.
