Binder Park Zoo houses exotic animals in their natural settings. Visitors can view wild animals from elevated boardwalks. The zoo contains one of the largest giraffe herds in the country and offers visitors a chance to hand feed a giraffe.

Kellogg Bird Sanctuary originated in 1927 and was part of a network of rest stops created to protect dwindling numbers of Canada geese as they made their annual migratory flights across North America. In 1928, cereal maker W.K. Kellogg donated the Sanctuary to Michigan State Agricultural College (now Michigan State University). It is used as a center for research and education.

Visitors can travel the walking paths to watch the wildlife and birds can be identified through trail signs.
