An elevated boardwalk through forest canopy and wetlands at the Minnesota Zoo — great for layered compositions of treetops, trails and ponds, seasonal color, and occasional zoo wildlife. Best light is golden hour and soft overcast for foliage detail; fall and spring are most photogenic. Located inside Minnesota Zoo (paid admission) with on-site parking. Boardwalk is mostly accessible; expect crowds midday on weekends. Seasonal snow adds graphic contrast in winter.
