Potter Park Zoo, Public zoo in Lansing, United States
Potter Park Zoo is a zoo in Lansing that uses about 20 acres to display over 500 animals from more than 100 species. The animal areas are arranged to let visitors see creatures from different continents in settings that reflect their natural homes.
The zoo opened in 1915 as a small city project. Over time it expanded to become a major attraction for the region of Michigan.
The zoo offers visitors chances to learn about wildlife and conservation through hands-on programs. By watching animals up close and attending demonstrations, you can see why protecting these creatures matters.
The pathways are easy to walk and have helpful spots like benches and water stations throughout. You can join guided tours or visit during feeding times to see the animals more up close.
The zoo runs breeding programs for endangered animals and takes part in releasing them back into the wild. This work behind the scenes shows visitors that there is much more happening than just animal displays.
