Detroit Zoo

I have been to many zoos, and this is by far the best. So many animals to see. We literally spent hours here just to walk the entire park and see everything. The animals were up and walking around (the lady at the front gate said around 2pm is a great time to see some of the larger animals like tigers and giraffes because they like warm weather and will be out and about at that time). And they surely were. We were as close as you can be to the giraffes, got to see the tigers playing together, and the camels were up walking and drinking water, and more. Highly recommend this zoo. It's not boring at all!!

Not to bad. Animals have nice size living space. Most animals doing nothing when extremely hot so don't except much on those days. In the winter animals are funner. Just as long as you can take the cold so dress warm and do not forget gloves. Membership is worth it especially if you visit other zoos. Animals will surprise you in the fall and winter. Don't be afraid to visit during these times because of the weather. Need more indoor viewing areas for animals not outside is my only negative about this zoo. P.S. Please get a honey badger.

The Detroit Zoo is amazing! The animals all have recently renovated and large enclosures, and you can tell they are happy. Today we saw many animals moving around including the otter, grizzly, polar bear, red pandas, giraffes, anteater, lemurs and macaques among many others! Their conservation, education, and recycling are inspiring and some of the most innovative I have ever seen! Lots of walking, but it's totally worth it knowing the animals all have the space they need. ❤

Always a wonderful time at the zoo! The red pandas were out in full effect and I like the different space for them in the back, seems to encourage play a bit more. The renovated tiger enclosure is breathtaking - they get so close, it's incredible. I will however swear on my life there is no wolverine in this zoo. Never in my life have seen one in its enclosure.

Overall great experience. There were ample restrooms, strategically placed through the zoo. Some of the exhibits weren't available due to the pandemic. There were only two places open for food and drinks so it was a little out of the way if you needed a drink at the far end of the zoo. I was super excited to see the polar bears from the underwater view but it was closed and it was difficult to see them if they weren't laying on top of the rocks. It would have been more convenient if this was posted somewhere visible to the public.
