About:The Detroit Zoological Park is one of the nation's oldest and most stately zoos. Its huge main campus is located on land situated in the suburb of Huntington Woods but owned by the city of Detroit. Renovations of many of the zoo's older buildings and new exhibits have modernized the zoo. Popular exhibits include the new Amphibiville, home of the National Amphibian Conservation Center, a Wildlife Interpretive Center and adjacent butterfly/hummingbird gallery, a chimpanzee exhibit, a penguinarium and a model farm. The grounds are large and a free train is often crowded in summer.

    The zoo is located in Royal Oak, not Huntington Woods as the text states. Royal Oak is my home town and I used to ride to the zoo on my bicycle. If it was in HW the ride would have been quite a roll!

    By the way, great zoo, except I hope the ape exibit is more humane than it was when I was a kid and the apes just sat in cages all day and played with car tires and looked sad.
