Wonderful place to enjoy the beautiful bears up close!

Awesome views of bears, wolves, and eagles

First place i saw great big polar bears. Omg polar bears are huge and marvelous to look at. Just wondering how much they are able to adapt in hot weather in the zoo which is why one was always swimming in the water. My kid loved experiencing the bear from close by.

Excellent destination for kids.

It was really amazing seeing the bears! I loved being able to see a polar bear, it was super unique!

The Great Bear Wilderness exhibit is a relatively newer location at the zoo. This houses all kinds of bears including polar and black or brown. You can get up and close to the animals as there are a lot of viewing windows. Keep in mind that bears sleep a lot and can be snoring while you visit during the day.

It's always a fun day at the Brookfield Zoo

AWSOME you gotta go

Awesome to see bears up close

8/2022 5* Always fun to visit the bears! 3/2021 We are so glad this opened back up! Loved seeing the Polar bears play and chase their food. The brown bear was amazingly huge and active today. Love this exhibit. A favorite of our family every time we go.

The polar bear is concerning as the pacing is followed by a violent head wobble. Other folks may see it as cute or nothing to worry about, but I can assure that isn't normal behavior for a polar bear underneath the Chicago sun. :( Other bears seem perfectly fine and content with their habitat set up however.

A very good display for bears. They have multiple areas for bears that have outside and inside viewing. The inside viewing you can see two separate areas with bear pools, where they often swim. They have polar bears and grizzlies. When it's cold you can watch more from inside. It's well designed and a favorite spot for my visits.

Nice to see 90% of visitors knew to wear masks when in congested areas. The indoor buildings kept attendance very limited. People get a little forgetful when bears are involved but overall a lovely experience

It was alright..i felt like the whole zoo needs more room for their animals..or what animals remain! Love the polar bear size comparison though its super cool to see how large they get in the wild.

I gave It 4 stars because we only got a glimpse of polar bear for a half a second.

Everytime I come here one of the bears is sound asleep right by the plexiglass viewing area so you can see how massive yet adorable they are. I just wish I could see the polar bear swimming sometime!

Christmas lights were awesome but few animals out at night (should be expected).

Many viewing spaces to see the bears in their habitat

Excellent!!!

Love seeing the bears here

Wonderful zoo

A favorite section of the zoo for family and me. They have some massive bears and the gift shop has lots of cool stuff to buy. It all goes to the Brookfield Zoo, so I don't mind the prices. If you have a respect for bears, definitely make a stop here during your next visit to the zoo.

My daughter loved seeing the bears today!

AWESOME!

It was amazing, only one of the workers had a bad attitude but other than that it was a great experience

Great day! Beautiful weather! I would definitely go again.

It was great; we arrived (around 2pm) as the bears were being fed. It was quite a sight to see.

Brookfield zoo lots to see

Nice display of both Polar and Grizzly bears. One star off for forcing you through a gift shop on the way out.

Awesome when the bears are active. Great viewing area

Bear looked thin & sad & paced alot

So happy the underwater viewing is back open. My kids were absolutely thrilled to see two grizzly bears swimming and playing in the water!

Most animals are out. Except lions are sleeping

They are so big and calm.

Bears were active and interpretive materials valuable

Give the animals more space or leave them in the wild.

Good place for kids they go fan

One of my fav parts of the zoo!

Beautiful animals!

Fun

Polar bear is slim! It's not fat like it's suppose to be!

First time seeing a Polar bear alive😁😁😁

(Translated by Google) Wonderful experience (Original) Maravillosa experiencia

Great get away

Great.

Awesome viewing of the bears, especially since they like to sleep right by the windows.

Great exhibits

So pretty!

I am a fan of bears, so this was one of my highlights of the zoo

Go bears!

Reminds me of when I was a kid. And being here with my now adult kids.

Lovely place, it's wonderful to plan a visit during the feeding time for the Bears. This is when they swim into the water and one can get a closer view

Family friendly

The bears are so cute and to watch them in action and not sleeping is the best.

Thank

Cool seeing the big bears
