Wilderness Trails Zoo is a private zoo 4 miles south of Frankenmuth and 2 miles east of Interstate 75 exit 136. The zoo has had a machine since about 2023 (unreported until now). It is located in the gift shop and can be reached without paying zoo admission. It takes 2 quarters plus your penny. If you're going to Frankenmuth, it's worth the extra stop (and it's on the way if you're coming from Detroit or others points south).

4/9/25 The sign says open from May til October. I visited the place on this date and they said they were open but it looked as if they were just stocking, they let me use the machine. All have the Zoo's name, Logo, City name. Designs are:
1) Elk,
2) Alligator,
3) Lemur,
4) Lion.
