Your Admission Matters
When you attend Zoo Boo, you’ll do more than just enjoy a frightfully good time. You’ll also support the animals who call the Zoo home, conservation work around the world, and our mission to create meaningful connections between people, animals, and the natural world so all can thrive.
To support the highest level of well-being, animals living at the Detroit Zoo choose where to spend time within their habitats. This includes both their indoor and outdoor living spaces, as well as parts of their habitats that are hidden from public view. While habitats will be open for this event, animals may choose to be out of sight. We appreciate your understanding and support of our goal to provide the best possible care for the animals who call the Detroit Zoo home.
