Take your family or visiting guests to the Detroit Zoo over the holidays and tour the new $30 million Polk Penguin Conservation Center, the world's largest zoo display of these aquatic birds. Get nose to beak with more than 80 penguins in this underwater gallery as they waddle, swim and stare back.

Don't forget to visit the zoo's many other exhibits, as animals are often more active during the cool weather.

The Detroit Zoo is at 8450 W. 10 Mile Road in Royal Oak, Michigan.

Passes expire Dec. 31, 2016.
