Holden Museum of Living Reptiles

The Detroit Zoological Society's collection of reptiles is primarily housed inside the Holden Museum of Living Reptiles, which is located near the middle of the park.

This building, which opened in 1960, is home to over 85 species (and approximately 250 specimens) of animals, approximately 1/5 of which are considered threatened or endangered in the wild.
