There’s something for everyone at the Detroit Zoo! Family-friendly special events include activities and games that celebrate the seasons, and our 21-and-older events feature food, drinks, live entertainment and the thrill of the Zoo at twilight. No matter your age or your interests, the Detroit Zoo has something sure to delight!

The Detroit Zoo is an incredible venue to host picnics, reunions, birthdays – even weddings! Learn more about packages, rates, and information about our on-site caterer, Service Systems Associates.

Make the Detroit Zoo your next venue. We are always looking for singers, bands and other performing artists to enhance our guests’ experiences and make our events extra special. Please contact us to discuss an event that might be right for you.

The Detroit Zoological Society encourages guests to recycle broken or unused holiday lights. Companies, such as HolidayLEDS.com, will gladly accept them and properly recycle the lights in exchange for a 15% off coupon for new LED lights.
