The Minnesota Zoo turned an old train into a gorgeous, elevated walking path. Now the zoo is busier than ever

The Treetop Trail, designed by Snow Kreilich Architects, enhances the Minnesota Zoo experience by providing a unique elevated walkway integrating nature and wildlife views.

The Treetop Trail was inspired by New York's High Line but differs by bringing visitors into the zoo environment rather than creating a park in an urban setting.

With a total length of 1.25 miles and soaring 32 feet above ground, it showcases an impressive array of animals while incorporating nature seamlessly.

The project not only attracted record visitors but also established connections to existing trails, further enhancing the local ecosystem and visitor experience.
