• Throughout the Zoo
  Be on the lookout for our animals to take part in Easter festivities, as they receive special
  Easter-related enrichment items in their habitats. Enrichment activities keep the
  animals active and healthy, allowing them to demonstrate behaviors similar to those they would in the wild.
• All Aboard for a “Train Teaser!”
  Hop on our Safari Train to test your skills counting Easter eggs hidden on the wooded and winding route.

Zoo admission is $11.75 for adults, $8.75 for children (3 to 12 years), free for children 2 and under, and $10.25 for senior citizens (60 and older). Milwaukee County residents with I.D. receive $1.75 off regular Zoo admission. Parking is $12. Zoological Society membership is valid.
