Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, United States | Zoo

The Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee WI in the United States,  is a serene home to more than 1,700 mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles with more than 350 species represented. However, the Milwaukee County Zoo has become more than that to visitors.  It is a site for workshops, holiday celebrations, summer concerts and food festivals.

Recognized as one of the country’s finest zoological attractions, the Milwaukee County Zoo serves as a resource to educate, entertain and inspire.

The wildness began in 1892 when the Milwaukee County Zoo was a simple miniature mammal and bird display in Milwaukee's downtown Washington Park.   By 1902, the Zoo expanded to 23 acres and had acquired a roaring 800 animals. Thirty-two years later, the Milwaukee County Zoo became an entity of the Milwaukee County Park Commission. The arrangement gave the Zoo the resources it needed to grow and prosper. The chance to grow surfaced in 1958 when the Zoo moved to its present location on 200 acres of beautiful parkland where currently over 350 species of animals are on exhibit.

It's clear that the Milwaukee County Zoo is and will continue to be one of Wisconsin's premiere attractions. With its renowned animal collection and special exhibitions, the Zoo offers visitors a course in education, conservation and enjoyment.
