You can experience the magic of the Detroit Zoo in the wintertime during Wild Winter Weekends. They'll take place January 16-17 and February 6-7, 2016.
The annual family-friendly events feature children's music, zookeeper talks, games and crafts. Wild Winter activities take place at the Ford Education Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and are free with Zoo admission.
Many Detroit Zoo animals are active in the colder winter months, including the gray wolves, wolverines, Japanese macaques, tigers, camels, polar bears, arctic foxes and red pandas. The Zoo also has many indoor areas to explore, including the Edward Mardigian Sr. River Otter Habitat, Matilda R. Wilson Free-Flight Aviary, Butterfly Garden, Holden Reptile Conservation Center, National Amphibian Conservation Center, Great Apes of Harambee and Penguinarium.
