The zoo is just awesome. We have had a pass for two years, and the zoo never gets old. The animals are great, the food is great and it is just a fun day, rain or shine! More

I am not a huge fan of Zoos but had a great time at the Milwaukee Zoo. Lots of animals to see and they had a large variety of animals. Definitely recommend going. More

An easy zoo to get in and out of. Great displays, a fun train ride and play park for little ones. I'm used to free zoos like Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago so paying to enter was a shock to me, but it was worth the money and it made for a fun and easy day. Very family friendly and... More

We had heard this zoo was great and weren't disappointed. It had all the cool animals that you don't often see at other zoos. It was very hot the day we were there, but there were lots of trees plus air conditioned buildings throughout the zoo, so it wasn't a problem. We rented one of the strollers for our 2... More

I like the Madison Zoo better only because it's free and the animals seem to be more lively and active there. I always seem to get... More

I use to live in Milwaukee and I was able to go to the zoo a few times. Since moving (south) I've really realized how much we all need to appreciate the fantastic zoo they have in Milwaukee. I took a few classes there as well and I was able to explore a lot of the grounds that are not... More
