💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Take advantage of Detroit Zoo Senior Days (held twice yearly) for free train rides, complimentary guided tram rides, and zookeeper talks - excellent value for families and seniors
  • 💡Plan your train strategy: ride the Chrysler mini-train one-way back to the gate after exploring, or arrive at Safari Station first and walk back to the main entrance - this maximizes your viewing time
  • 💡Bring your own snacks as food options are limited at the Safari Station; also pack extra water and plan rest stops in shaded areas, especially on hot days
  • 💡Don't miss the zookeeper talks when available - they provide educational context about animal behavior and care that enhances the experience beyond just viewing
  • 💡Budget carefully for the gift shop - items are notably pricey, so set spending limits before visiting with children
