About this adventure
Experience the world's longest elevated pedestrian loop—the 1.25-mile Treetop Trail—at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. Rising up to 32 feet above the forest canopy, the trail offers sweeping panoramic views of fall foliage, bison grazing in prairie pastures, and Siberian tigers roaming their outdoor habitats. During Thanksgiving weekend, the zoo hosts family harvest animal enrichment demonstrations where otters, bears, and primates receive pumpkins and festive seasonal treats. The indoor Tropics Trail and Minnesota Trail offer climate-controlled warmth with baby changing facilities and nursing stations throughout.
