@USZOOfan42 It's a decent, small facility and here's the full review from my Snowleopard's 2018 Road Trip thread.
In southern Michigan there are quite a number of small zoos very close to each other and about 40 minutes later I ended up at Howell Nature Center: Wild Wonders Wildlife Park (Howell, MI), also an hour from Detroit. It's amazing that I even find these places as thank goodness that I have a great GPS as in the morning the Indian Creek Zoo had zero signage anywhere until I was literally on top of the place and now Wild Wonders Wildlife Park was equally bizarrely located. I drove way out into the boonies (the middle of freaking nowhere) and then entered a wealthy residential area with many impressive-looking houses. I was sure that for once my GPS had made a mistake but sure enough after leaving the paved neighbourhood I ended up on a short dirt road and at my latest zoo.
There is a Conference Center attached to the attraction, an amazingly detailed tree statue that is like something from Disney, and then a woodland trail that contains a multitude of animals native to Michigan. Every single animal is a rescue and each exhibit has a sign giving short details about the reason why a specific creature was at the center. I generally find those little stories interesting and I read quite a few of them along the route. Every enclosure is constructed out of wood and wire but very few are too small and most are what I would deem 'adequate'. There are many raptors in the shaded exhibits and then also in another, separate area that is a Raptor Center.
