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 Great Bear Wilderness is an improvement from where the bears used to be. It's nice to see the bears from in the building. Getting the underwater view is unique as they are playing. The themed path, gift shop, and reasurant equal I nice over 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.

Ive been too Brookfield zoo as a child why are the polar bears arena not an air conditioned area when you have the space and money too do so? with all the pop up shops that were around its disappointing too see those bbys be mistreated.

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...

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...
