Mingle with the Detroit Zoo
Sunday, July 27 | 12:00–2:30 PM
Join us in Sosnick Courtyard for a free family-friendly experience hosted by the Detroit Zoo—open to all, including the general public and DSO patrons attending The Lion King in Concert.
Taking place outside in Sosnick Courtyard, this pre-concert celebration is accessible to everyone, not just ticket holders, and welcomes walk-up visitors to enjoy fun and educational activities.
Learn about wildlife conservation and African species who call the Zoo home including Lions, Warthogs, and Zebras—then see them shine on the screen during the movie when the DSO performs Disney's The Lion King live in concert at 3:00 PM.

Art-making activity for children and families
-
African drumming and storytelling experience
-
Three hands-on education stations with Zoo educators

Real biofacts and learning materials focused on African animal species
- Zoo membership info and ticket discounts
