Visit the Zoo

At the Milwaukee County Zoo, you can see more than 2,100 animals, representing 354 species, across 190 acres! Visit Adventure Africa, the brand-new home for elephants, hippos, and African hoofstock, or take a break indoors in one of several buildings, including the Aquatic & Reptile Center, Florence Mila Borchert Big Cat Country, or Stearns Family Apes of Africa and Primates of the World.

In addition to observing majestic animals, the Zoo offers rides and attractions! During summer months, you may be able to feed a goat or a giraffe. You can learn about animals and their behaviors during Animals in Action talks. Or, take a trip on the train that goes around the Zoo. Extra costs may apply.

Check-in with Our Animal Web Cams

The Zoological Society has installed a series of webcams in many habitats so you can check in on your favorites. Check out several of the Zoo’s animals, including jaguars, penguins, and fish! People tune in from all over the country to watch the animals. Our webcams were partially funded by donations to a Society Annual Appeal and are maintained by the Society’s team.
