Make Time For Family!

In need of some quality family time? Why not spend a beautiful day visiting the Detroit Zoo with the family! These fall days are perfect for spending time outside. A cool breeze is blowing, the sun peaks out of the clouds every once in a while, and the temperature in Metro Detroit around this time of year ranges from 60-70 degrees (give or take a couple chilly days). Why spend family time at the Metro Detroit Zoo? Aside from the fact that kids LOVE animals, the Detroit Zoo happens to be the largest family attraction in Michigan!

Don't let that last bit of interesting fact about crowds discourage you though! There is plenty of room at the Detroit Zoo because it is located on a 125 acre lot which gives you plenty of room to sprawl out. Here is a map of the zoo:

As a child, my time at the zoo was usually spent with my older brother, cousins or friends, but ALWAYS with my mom. I can thank her for my love for and interest in animals. One of my fondest memories of the zoo as a child was walking around inside the butterfly house. This was exciting for me as a child because the butterflies would actually land on me, and any kid who goes to the zoo and has any contact with the animals always thinks it is the coolest experience ever.
