Really an exceptional zoo and the type that you'd expect in a larger city . Large with all the types of exhibits and animals that you'd hope for. Can compete with any zoo out there! 🦒

Onissa Lewis

Love to see the elephants and penguins. Good place to get some exercise... good walk. Don't forget to ride the train before you leave!

Aaron Biebert

Take a ride on the scale replica steam engine train . It's a fun way to see the zoo . Make sure to wave to the bystanders!

Sea lion show was awesome and affordable ! Shark and Sting Rays was also great! Best zoo in the midwest!! Maybe the world :D

Carol Voss

Watch for Feb/March event at zoo for a fun brisk 5k run/walk and family-friendly Zumba supporting work of @Independence1st helping ppl w/disabilities!

Melissa Wilson

Don't be afraid to visit the zoo in the winter...{preferably nonwindy} day. You'll have the zoo practically to yourself. It's so pretty when it's snowy & the indoor buildings are heated. Score!

Danielle Schiestle

You have to check out the baby jaguars & the fennec fox kits! Too adorable for words. The indoor exhibits can be pretty crowded - especially on free days. But it's worth it not to have to pay!

Matthew Taub

Best zoo in the state . Membership is the way to go if you live anywhere close.

Stacy Lukasavitz

Getting a membership here is one of the best decisions we've made since moving to Milwaukee a year ago. It practically pays for itself. Excellent, beautiful zoo !

Robyn Wallen

great zoo but unless you have kids who want to ride a train take the tram tour instead. Its an awesome guided tour . The train just goes around the perimeter of the zoo . Not worth the $2.

Ken Konkol

The animal exhibits are the best in the world.

Lori Sanchez

Very well kept zoo , great for a family fun day, there are areas for picnics located throughout the grounds.

Very nice zoo . You do have to pay for it, but it's worth the trip.

A great place to visit but make sure you are ready to pay - without advance tickets adults were $13.25, kids $10.25 and I think it was $11 to park (we had free tickets for an event )
