Did you know that one in seven hospital patients needs blood? You can help meet this critical need by donating during one of our blood drives*, hosted in partnership with Versiti Blood Center of Michigan. As a thank-you for your life-saving contribution, each donor will receive one free ticket Zoo ticket to use on a future visit — plus an exclusive Baby Yoda plush.
*Guests must purchase Zoo admission to enter the Zoo and participate in the blood drive. Members may enter the Zoo free of cost.
**Ticket is valid for daytime admission to the Detroit Zoo through Dec. 31, 2026. Ticket cannot be redeemed for special events.
