The Detroit Zoo will be closed on Tuesday, August 12, as a result of the record-breaking rainfall that swept through southeast Michigan on Monday. All animals are secure and there are no concerns with animal welfare at this time. Flooding caused damage to facilities and equipment, including the Arctic Ring of Life, boilers in other buildings, and technical equipment, though the full extent of the damage is not yet known. Staff is currently evaluating all areas of the park and beginning cleanup efforts and repairs. In order to affect the necessary repairs, several buildings will need to be closed to the public, thus full closure of the Zoo on Tuesday will most efficiently expedite this process. It is expected to reopen with regular business hours on Wednesday, August 13.
