Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak, Michigan

A stroller-friendly animal day with toddler play spaces, indoor habitats, and plenty of room to set your own pace.

Toddlers can watch animals, move between indoor and outdoor habitats, and pause at Little Sprouts, a pond-themed play area for children five and younger. Wide paths and many natural stopping points make naps and snack breaks easier.
