01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Detroit Zoo lies outside the city in the Royal Oak and Huntington Woods area. Different habitats and animal groups are spread across a large campus, with Arctic and penguin exhibits among its best-known features. Interpretation brings conservation and animal care into the visit. Treat it as a separate outing rather than a quick downtown stop.

  1. Arctic exhibits
  2. Penguins and conservation stories
  3. An extended outdoor family outing
