About the McDonnell Polar Bear Point
McDonnell Polar Bear Point is a unique institution located in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The 40,000-square-foot habitat opened in 2015 and is home to Kali, an orphaned polar bear from Alaska. Visitors can learn about the plight of polar bears and their importance to Alaska Native people while exploring the space and interacting with Kali.
The institution has employed sustainable design and construction practices, using recycled materials and energy-efficient systems to reduce its carbon footprint. The Polar Bear Point features different areas such as the "sea" with a Polar Dive Pool, the "moraine" with a scenic view, and the "tundra" where visitors can observe bear behavior up close.
A gift shop at the entrance offers bear-themed items for guests to purchase. The Care Center provides advanced care for marine mammals, including a polar maternity suite. Guests can also learn about the relationship between polar bears and Alaska Native people through interpretive materials and video journals.
In addition to polar bears, the institution is also home to penguins, puffins, grizzly bears, gorillas, and chimpanzees. Visitors can enjoy rides on the Conservation Carousel and Zooline Railroad, as well as explore gift shops and eateries on the premises.

Reviews of McDonnell Polar Bear Point
"Good time for the grandkids and adults alike."
"I like the Polar bear wouldn't cuddle with him though"
"I didn't see the polar bear :( I believe because it's summer, they should move him for other place... I prefer this ways it's better for the animal :)"
"The Polar Bear Point is absolutely impressive. The day I visited the polar bear habitat the polar bear was laying on his stomach and seemed rather relaxed. He was laying next to glass pane so it felt as if we were right next to him. I was so impressed with his immense size and mass. This is an absolute don't miss."
"This is one of the newer animal exhibits at the Zoo. Make a left after entering through Living World and you'll come to the polar bears just past the grizzly bears. Unfortunately the bears seldom seem to be out when I visit, but when they are they are a lot of fun to watch. There is some water near the viewing glass where they like to swim, and it's fun to see them paddling past you."
