After a stressful week filled with lots of appointments we needed to get out, get some fresh air, and go to the Detroit Zoo. We walked around, packed a picnic to eat together, and just enjoyed some good weather and cute animals! A Zoo pass is probably the best investment around – and it’s not even that expensive! We got our family pass for Wyatt’s first birthday last year so it’s expiring soon – but to renew it’s only $60. So, we’ll definitely be getting another one to use for the next year!
There are just so many great learning opportunities there. And it’s a great place to point out different animals, trees, and basically anything! We are supposed to be getting Wyatt out and exposed in large groups to make him eventually feel more comfortable with people. So, this was a great place to go. Wyatt’s favorite part was the bears – he loved watching them run and play together. I love watching his face just light up when he really loves something. That’s worth the drive and cost to me.
I love the zoo – my future family will totally be a zoo fam.
Zoo fam’s are the BEST! ๐
That peacock is absolutely gorgeous! I haven’t been to a zoo since 1st grade. It would make such a great daytime date with Q. I’m going to have to add that to our list of summer dates!!

I just found your blog and I love it! I heard the Detroit Zoo was really awesome from a friend of mine who used to live in Michigan. I surprisingly haven’t been to the zoo since my son was 6 months old and he’s almost two now. I really, really need to change that. Our closest zoo is almost an hour away and it always seemed daunting with a toddler who hates the car in tow, but I think he’d really love it. He loves animals! You’ve inspired me to plan a zoo date soon! ๐
