## Parking at Jane and Frank Warchol Beaver Habitat

The Jane and Frank Warchol Beaver Habitat is at 8450 West 10 Mile Road in Royal Oak, within the Detroit Zoo grounds. The zoo map marks a parking lot on the 10 Mile side of the site, along with a parking structure and the Woodward permeable parking lot (detroitzoo.org).

For event access, the Detroit Zoo states that parking is required and costs $8 for Polar Beers, an event that includes the Jane and Frank Warchol Beaver Habitat among its listed animal areas (detroitzoo.org). The zoo map identifies the parking facilities, but does not provide capacity or general opening hours for those areas (detroitzoo.org).

## Other Parking Around the Detroit Zoo Site

The Detroit Zoo map identifies a parking structure and the Woodward permeable parking lot as separate parking areas from the lot shown beside the 10 Mile entrance (detroitzoo.org). These are the named alternatives within the zoo layout for drivers approaching the attraction.

The 10 Mile parking area, structure, and Woodward lot are all shown on the zoo map, giving drivers more than one marked destination when the closest lot is busy (detroitzoo.org). The map labels the surrounding parking facilities but does not state a separate free-parking option (detroitzoo.org).

## Parksy Spaces Near JFWBH in Royal Oak and Beyond

The nearest listed Parksy option is a secure outdoor lot in Royal Oak, 1.4 miles from the site, priced at $99 a month. This is a monthly space rather than a short-stay attraction lot, so it suits drivers arranging regular parking in the area.

Further options include an outdoor parking space in Southfield, 4.5 miles away, at $69 a month, and secure outdoor car storage in Southfield at the same distance and price. Troy has two listed RV and boat storage spaces 5.7 miles away at $42 a month, while secure outdoor RV parking in Highland Park is 6.1 miles away at $50 a month.

## Busy Event Parking and 10 Mile Road Access

Event demand can be higher than on a routine zoo visit. Polar Beers includes the River Otter Habitat and the Jane and Frank Warchol Beaver Habitat among its animal areas, and the Detroit Zoo requires event parking at $8 (detroitzoo.org).

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). Those marked facilities are the relevant parking areas for approaching from the surrounding streets. 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.
