We were looking forward to going to the Detroit Zoo. We had heard a great deal about the Polar Bear exhibit and the tube for viewing the bears while they are swimming. We had the opportunity to see two different polar bears swimming while we were walking through the tube. I guess our timing was perfect because we understand most visitors do not get to see the bears in the water while they are walking through the tube. We also saw seals swimming on the other side of the exhibit while we were in the tube. Detroit Zoo has a lot to offer including a viewing dome for kids within the prairie dog's exhibit. The zoo offered families and individuals the opportunity to develop and maintain a garden plot in the grassy areas of the zoo. It was interesting to view the ideas that were used in creating the garden plots.
