Ride on the Wild Side Bike Ride

With its hills, winding paths and beautiful setting, the Milwaukee County Zoo is a great place to ride your bike. Kids of all ages can cruise in the Critter Caravan, a special 2.5-mile kids’ route through the Zoo. After the ride, kids can enjoy a post-ride snack, make some crafts and get a temporary tattoo in the Kids Zone. Seasoned riders with a passion for pedaling can choose one of the distance routes (10-, 17- and 27-mile rides) that start at the Zoo and continue north along the Menomonee River Parkway and the Oak Leaf Trail. After the ride, all participants can park their bike in the Bike Corral and enjoy lunch. Registration also includes continental breakfast, a T-shirt, parking and admission to the Zoo for the day.
