Paradise for Animal Lovers
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. Admission: $11 Adults, $9 Seniors (62+), $7 Children (2-12).

The best way to get a real flavor of the Motor City is to drive up Woodward Avenue from Six Mile Road in Detroit toward Pontiac. The first mile is the oldest paved highway in the United States. At the edge of the city is the Michigan State Fairgrounds. North of Eight Mile Road, the stretch is the site of the Woodward Dream Cruise every August. During the rest of the year, you can still see the legacy of the automobile cruising culture, with bars and restaurants and stores abounding. Great stops along or just off the strip are Ferndale's fashionable downtown, the Detroit Zoo, trendy downtown Royal Oak, downtown Birmingham, and the Cranbrook Institute of Arts.
