What is there to do?
Located within Lansing's Potter Park, Potter Park Zoo is home to over 160 species of amazing animals from ALL over the world. Here, kids can come face to face with their favourites from Africa, South America, Asia - and you don't even need to leave Michigan!
Potter Park Zoo is also home to many creatures that are threatened or endangered, including Amur tigers, red pandas, snow leopards, and bongos, so the learning experience that kids will have here is invaluable. Not only will they learn about the animals habits and habitats, but they will also learn why we should be caring for our creatures - amazing!
Interested in learning more about the animals you'll meet during your trip to the zoo? Let's go!
How about coming face to face with the majestic lion, or see the grand Alaskan moose? Can you spot the Arctic Fox? Perhaps if you look closely! There are adorable barn Owls, impressive Black Rhinos, and cheeky meerkats!
Kids - have you ever heard of a Mandrill before? Potter Park Zoo is where you can find out exactly what this creature is! From scaley reptiles to colorful birds, the kids will really have a WILD day out at the zoo!
They also have a host of fun seasonal activities the kids will love, such as pony rides, fun bungee jumps, and farmyard adventures
An animal-tastic adventure in Michigan, and all they are waiting for now is YOU!
