Our vision for the Milwaukee County Zoological Gardens is to create an interactive, vibrant and barrier-free Zoo environment. The New Zoo will be a place where people develop knowledge of, compassion for and commitment to nature's future through the quality of their experiences. We are confident that the steps we take to enhance the Zoo experience will lay the foundation for exhibits that are even more exciting, with educational programs and facilities that will benefit the greater Milwaukee community and future generations. – Jack McKeithan, Campaign Chair |
