Since opening more than 80 years ago, the Detroit Zoo has been a leader in innovative animal care and conservation.

Today, it’s home to over 2,000 animals, including 50 endangered species and two species extinct in the wild. Don’t miss the Arctic Ring of Life, where you can walk through a clear tunnel surrounded by swimming polar bears and seals—a must-see for all ages.
