Everything about our trip was good except the planning of the trip…read more It was hard to get information about the zoo. I wish they had a more up to date city page with better info and hours..maybe even a map and a few photos. Entry cost wasn't bad. It's a lot cheaper then a zoo bit also a slot smaller then a zoo too. We saw the farm/zoo cat. They had lots of ducks, some donkeys, a few cows, pigs and goats. And then maybe alpacas? I'm not sure. Very long necks. We went at about 75 degrees. The time was 11ish but they do say the animals are more active when it's cooler out. So 75 degrees should give you an idea. The goats were very friendly. They enjoyed being pet and stood there for a long time for us. One of the pigs came over too. The cat liked being pet but only a certain way. And if you didn't do it. You got a reminder gentle bite, but a bite nonetheless. The cows, alpacas, ducks and donkeys were not interested in coming over. The animals were all fed around noon which was a cool time to be there too. Word if caution, the fence is vinyl. One if the cows got excited it was gonna be fed and bumped into the fence. It bowed so badly, it scared me and I pulled my kiddo back. They are quite powerful.

The other owls were tucked away and asleep in their enclosures, which makes sense. Also saw a bald eagle, a couple hawks, and critters like a tarantula, snapping turtle and others in their critter house. Staff/volunteers on site were super knowledgeable and friendly, and there was a lot to learn about owls during this event. Believe the trails and outdoor bird enclosures are free and open to the public year round.

One of the best parts? It's located right by the water, so even on hot days there's always a nice breeze to keep things cool. Plus, it's just steps away from the library--super convenient! This past weekend, we attended the Bash at Bishop, which they host every year, and we had an absolute blast. It was the perfect way to kick off summer with bouncy houses, face painting, balloon animals, fun games, hot dogs, snow cones, and cotton candy galore! My little ones were especially excited to check out the fire truck, ambulance, and police car and even a race car! They couldn't stop smiling. There were also prize giveaways, live music, and a band playing to bring the whole community together. And the best part? It's all FREE. Just an incredible event at a park that already checks all the boxes for our family. Even without the event, Bishop Park is a gem we visit regularly. Can't recommend it enough for families looking for a fun, clean, and scenic place to spend the day.

Oakwoods Metro Park is my favorite Metro Parks. Kensington Park tends to get alot of the love in…read morethe Metro Parks system. My case for Oakwoods is that it is less crowded and has a great nature center with a hawk and owl. Often I travel to the park to simply walk the trails going thru the forest listening to music. Usually get to see some deer in the back of the trails and at dusk many deep come out to dine. Also I have seen some wild turkeys too. For the horse riders inclined they have a horse trail, although I have never visited this section of the park. If your a biker/cyclist I highly recommend parking a Willow Metro Park and biking from Willow to Oakwoods and further down the DownRiver bike trail system.

I've ridden the Connector several times, but I've hiked it as well for conditioning, and enjoyment. There are 5mi of trails thru hardwoods, an ancient sandbar, and scenic overlooks along the Huron River. Of the three parks, Oakwoods is by far the best for hiking. The Connector paved hike-bike trail within the park is 3mi. The meadows you pass thru are impressive in their own right. There's also the new 11mi trail connector that runs thru Flat Rock all the way down to Lake Erie Metro Park. The trail head for the 11mi connector begins a 1/4mi west of the Nature Center parking lot. These connector trail segments are part of the Iron Belle Trail system. Oakwoods also has an excellent nature center, with a rescue Red-tail Hawk, and other exhibits. I recommend giving Oakwoods Metro Park a try.

I just discovered the Rouge River trail last summer. I've been trying to get in more steps each day…read moreand it was fun to try walking in a new area. The Rouge River trail provides some beautiful sites throughout the season and you can even look across the river to Fair Lane, the old Henry Ford Estate. On my very first trip, I saw two deer along the path. If you really want to get a good walk in, park by the Estate and walk around there before or after you go to the Rouge Trail. One tip: As a walker or runner, stay to the right of the path as there are a lot of bikers gah at come through and it can be difficult for them to see around the curves in the path.

I go to this park often.  It is spacious.  It is conveniently located in downtown Wayne and just a…read moreshort walk from a variety of attractions and businesses.  There are churches nearby, banks, stores of many types.  The River Rouge runs thorough the north part of the park.  It can be very beautiful at times.  If you are visiting the river be careful, however, because the water is still of poor quality.  Avoid contact with the water. The park itself has pleasant walkways and is generally well lit.  Avoid the river bank after sunset as there is no lighting down there.  The playscape is rather large and in good condition.  There is one 'bumpy' slide I do not recommend.  For some reason someone coming down the slide can get up a good head of steam but suddenly there is a bump and twist and 'ouch!' is the next stop.  You'll know which one I mean when you get there.  It's the larger set facing east.  The rest of it is great. There are picnic tables scattered throughout the park.   There is also an amphitheater.  There are several events held here during the year so besides being a nice quiet oasis in the center of town it can be a very popular place and filled with thousands of people.
