Wildlife Rescue

Free with Zoo admission I Free for members

Discover how you can make a difference for wildlife — one climb at a time.

For a limited time, the Detroit Zoo will be home to Wildlife Rescue, a traveling exhibition featuring 12 oversized, climbable sculptures throughout our footprint. Each sculpture includes an incredible conservation story, allowing you to step into the world of wildlife preservation.

You’ll learn how the Detroit Zoo saves wildlife around the world through animals like the Panamanian golden frog, who we care for at the Zoo by maintaining a population that could one day be returned to the wild, and the red panda, who we help protect in the wild through strategic partnerships and conservation programs.

Whether you’re young or young at heart, Wildlife Rescue is the perfect opportunity to take your Zoo visit to new heights while supporting conservation work around the world.

Wildlife Rescue is created and produced by Little Ray’s Exhibitions.
