Corewell Health Children’s Walk for Miracles is a special discounted day for families to enjoy a day at the zoo, all while helping local children and families. Superheroes of all ages are invited to participate in the fundraising event at the Detroit Zoo, Saturday, Sept. 13. The walk begins at 8 a.m., and walkers may stay and enjoy the zoo all day. All proceeds benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals programming at Corewell Health Children’s and stay in Southeast Michigan to fund exceptional programs and services, vital pediatric equipment, and scholarships for families struggling to afford care.

2025 marks the 10th annual Walk for Miracles, raising more than $760,000 for pediatric programs of Corewell Health Children’s.

Participants are encouraged to dress as their favorite superhero or fantasy character. Children will meet many other popular fairytale and comic book heroes along the way. In addition to enjoying the Zoo exhibits, families will enjoy snacks and refreshments. Also, parking is complementary for registered participants.
