About

Potter Park Zoo is an escape to nature located in the heart of Michigan's capital city. Open 364 days a year and home to over 500 individual animals!

Story

The Zoo encompasses over 20 acres and features more than 500 individual animals representing approximately 160 different species. As an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and participant in its Species Survival Plan (SSP) programs, we are committed to the preservation of endangered animals and are actively developing strategies that will help protect species and preserve their wild habitats. Through education, conservation, research and recreation, Potter Park Zoo provides a wonderfully wild experience for students and families.

The Potter Park Zoological Society strives to teach each visitor and participant in educational programs what they can do to conserve animals in the natural world – both world wide and in their own backyard. The Society raises funds by managing the membership program, producing family events, grant writing, conducting educational programs, and coordinating fundraising activities. The Potter Park Zoological Society is a private, 501 (c) 3, non-profit organization that supports Potter Park Zoo.

My daughter is 18 months and we got to the zoo once or twice a week. We live close by so we like to walk there often. It's a nice cheap day trip for us where we can pack our own lunch to eat there. We always make a stop for her to ride the ponies while there. I let her her out to walk and it takes about 1 to 1.5 hours for us to walk through the park. I am not sure how much older kids would enjoy it since it's not very big, but it's perfect for our family. We did Zoo Boo last year and had a fun time as well.

This zoo is the perfect size. I took my toddler here for a few hours and he absolutely loved it. From the free-range peacocks to the lion he is still talking about weeks later, it's a great place for little ones.There are enough animals to stay interested, but not so many that you feel obligated to stay here for a 6 hour zoo marathon. The exhibits are also pretty close together as well, which my legs were grateful for. The animals seemed happy, but the habitats seem pretty dated.

A really nice little zoo! They have a wide variety of animals that all seem to be treated well, with interesting enclosures and enrichment. The enclosures are generally quite small, but I'm aware this is a zoo and not a sanctuary. The prices are quite reasonable (although be aware parking is an additional fee) and the zoo is great for kids and adults alike.

This zoo is a great place to go to for your zoological needs! We saw many great animals learned interesting facts about them. I saw a bongo looking at me, and I looked back. In the year 2017, mid October is quite nice, and I liked that most of the animals were still on display. Other zoos have cut-n-run for regular visits, but this zoo sticks through it until the bitter end!

Very nice zoo inside a park. Paved walkways very accessible for wheelchairs (a little hilly in spots). Lots of trees & shade. Nice variety of animals. They rotate lions & tigers from outside yard to indoor space. It was amazing to see them so close up. Wonderful day at the zoo.
