Join us Memorial Day Weekend for the grand opening of Erb Discovery Trails — a seven-acre adventure where hands-on and up-close animal encounters, aerial climbing experiences and interactive spaces create new ways to connect with animals and the natural world.

Dr. Hayley Murphy, executive director and CEO of the Detroit Zoological Society, commented on her excitement for this inclusive and fun new exhibit in the zoo:

Fred and Barbara Erb Discovery Trails is a joyful new addition to the Detroit Zoo, and a wonderful way for families to experience the Zoo together. This is a place where guests can touch, climb, play and explore while making meaningful connections with animals and the natural world, and every person who enters this space will come away with a new appreciation for the world around them.
