Henry Vilas Zoo

One of my favorites! Free admission (please donate if you are able). Just the right size zoo not to be overwhelming, but with a great variety of exhibits that rival larger zoos.

Very nice smaller zoo. Its amazing that the zoo is free. Plenty of staff. Highly recommend. Parking is free, but space is limited in parking lot. It took us about an hour to walk around the entire zoo.

Safety measures in place. Clean. Nice exhibits. It's the end of February,so still chilly and many animals are inside yet. Lions,Tigers, seals, bison, badger, camel and more were out and visible though. Must wear mask unless eating or drinking.

Great free zoo. Weren't sure what would be out in the winter but the lions and tigers were. It was much easier to see them without all the vegetation. The zoo was also not crowded.
