Victoria Day at the Detroit Zoo

Monday, May 18, 2026

Our annual, cross-border celebration of community and connection.

Purchase Tickets at Gate

A Tradition That Crosses Borders

Each spring, we celebrate Victoria Day by welcoming our Canadian neighbors for a day of exploration and togetherness at the Detroit Zoo. On Monday, May 18, Canadian cash will be accepted at par for onsite general admission and membership purchases.

This tradition honors the deep connections between our border communities and invites all guests to experience a place where nature knows no boundaries.

For more information, contact [email protected].

A Note on Currency

Per value acceptance is limited to cash payments in Canadian dollars for onsite admission and membership purchases only. All other purchases must be made in U.S. currency or by credit card.

Why We Celebrate

The Detroit Zoo is a welcoming space for all — a place where families from both sides of the border can connect with wildlife and the natural world. We believe meaningful nature experiences should be accessible, joyful and shared, regardless of where you call home.
