The Milwaukee County Zoo is one of the city’s top spots for dads and kids. Youngsters love riding on Dad’s shoulders to get a closer look at outdoor animals such as the elephants, giraffes and polar bears. Another popular pastime is petting domestic and Wisconsin critters such as ducks and turtles at the Zoo’s Northwestern Mutual Family Farm. Farm attendants host Stackner Animal Encounter presentations five times a day (check the Zoo map for times) starting Memorial Day Weekend. The farm is also where kids can create cute “No. 1 Dad” buttons with Chinet® paper plates. Complete the day of bonding at the Zoo’s special summer exhibit, Wings From Down Under, sponsored by Lowe’s. Kids and dads can touch, hold and even feed hundreds of small, friendly Australian parrots such as cockatiels, parakeets and eastern rosellas.
Looking for a fun gift for Dad? Consider sponsoring Cassius, a silverback gorilla at the Zoo.
