Royal Oak, MI - The Detroit Zoo has the perfect holiday gift for tens of thousands of school children on holiday break and anyone else looking for a cure for post-holiday cabin fever. The Zoo is offering a discount of $2 off all admissions from December 26 to December 31.
When the mercury dips, many of the Zoo’s animals become more active. The Japanese macaques, or snow monkeys, can often be seen enjoying their outdoor hot tub. The tigers, wolverines, red pandas, Asian wild horses, elk and bison also adapt well to colder temperatures. A popular attraction in any type of weather is the Arctic Ring of Life with its 70-foot underwater Frederick and Barbara Erb Polar Passage providing spectacular views of swimming polar bears and seals. For a more tropical experience, visitors can head for the Butterfly Garden where the temperature is always a balmy 75 degrees and enjoy over 40 species of butterflies as well as the habitat’s newest residents, five Peruvian hummingbirds. Other indoor experiences at the Zoo include the National Amphibian Conservation Center, Penguinarium, Holden Museum of Living Reptiles and Mardigian River Otter Habitat. In addition, the Great Apes of Harambee, giraffe, white rhino, lemur and farm animal habitats all have indoor viewing areas.
The Detroit Zoo is open daily year-round except on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. |
