The zoo map places the site beside 10 Mile Road and labels parking at the 10 Mile entrance, the parking structure, and the Woodward permeable lot (detroitzoo.org).

The map does not publish separate street-parking rules for the area around the site (detroitzoo.org).
Walking and Rail Access to JFWBH From Royal Oak
The site is 1.0 mile from Royal Oak center, making the central Royal Oak area the closest named town-center approach in the supplied location facts. The attraction address is 8450 West 10 Mile Road.
The Detroit Zoo map shows the habitat within the zoo grounds and marks the 10 Mile parking entrance, but it does not identify a rail station or publish a station-to-habitat walking time (detroitzoo.org). Drivers using rail therefore need to plan the final approach from the station separately from the zoo’s internal walk to the habitat.
