Detroit Zoo Closed Tuesday Due to Extreme Cold
(Detroit Zoo, Jan 20, 2025)
ROYAL OAK, MI — Due to the forecast of extreme cold temperatures across the metro Detroit region, the Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Center will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 21.
The safety of our guests and the animals who call the Detroit Zoo and Belle Isle Nature Center home is our highest priority. Essential team members, including our dedicated animal care staff, will remain on-site to ensure the animals continue to receive the exceptional care they need.
The Detroit Zoological Society leadership team is closely monitoring the latest weather forecasts, and we will reopen for regular daytime hours once it is determined that reopening can be done safely.
Guests who purchased a ticket to visit the Zoo during regular operating hours will have their ticket honored for Zoo admission on any future visit. Refunds will not be issued if guests decide not to visit at a later date.
The Belle Isle Nature Center in Detroit will not be open to the public even if entrance to Belle Isle State Park is permitted.
