Hosting 125 acres of naturalistic habitats for more than 2,000 animals, the Detroit Zoo stands as a landmark in the Metro Detroit area. It boasts award-winning attractions such as the National Amphibian Conservation Center, Great Apes of Harambee and the Arctic Ring of Life. The Detroit Zoo also holds the largest facility for penguins in the world, the new Polk Penguin Conservation Center.   

“Zoos are a staple to tourists across the country but they aren’t just there to showcase animals,” says Community Relations Specialist Amanda Harrison Keighley, “We are excited to hear what zoos are doing to impact our global community for man and animal alike.”
