Things to Do
Animals and Zoos
Let the Fun Run Wild
Wisconsin’s zoos are more than just exhibits—they’re habitats for you to explore your wild side. Venture up to the glass and stand paw-to-paw with a Siberian Tiger. Pet some furry, friendly critters you’ve only just discovered. Feed North America’s largest mammal from your car seat (yep, bison are that big). From wide-open wildlife parks to serene city sanctuaries, your herd is in for an unforgettable animal adventure.
Safari Rides
Get Up Close With Exotic Animal Friends
Gear up for Sahara-like adventure right here in Wisconsin. At Safari Lake Geneva, your crew can hand feed ostriches, bison, giraffes and more while cruising on a guided wildlife ride. Watch exotic animals roam, snack and interact with each other—just inches away.
City Animals
Discover Milwaukee’s Animal Oasis
Get within whisker distance of over 320 species from around the world, right here in Milwaukee. Tiptoe alongside nocturnal creatures of the night, pose next to neon frogs and spy the elusive snow leopard (if you're lucky).
