Fodor's Review:

More than 2,800 animals from about 300 species live uncaged in natural habitats at the Detroit Zoo. Highlights include a large penguinarium, a walk-through aviary with tropical birds and plants, and a wildlife interpretive gallery with a butterfly house. Don't miss the Arctic Ring of Life exhibit, with polar bears and seals in a simulated habitat; an underwater tunnel gives you the chance to see the animals swim overhead.

  • Cost: $11
  • Open: Daily 10-5

Says who?! There are fewer animals at this zoo than any zoo I've ever visited. The gardens were nice,however,as were the people. Why are there no animals?
