This is quite the unusual zoo & I mean that in a good way! This zoo is a little more interactive than a traditional zoo. When you first walk in you are greeted by goats, baby goats, turtles, & bunnies. You can feed them, pet them, & play with them. You also walk through the deer exhibit where my daughter's got to pet a newborn fawn & feed the deer inside. The entire family also got to feed the giraffes! You could also feed parakeets & they have a tram that takes you through the African exhibit where the animals will walk right up to the tram & greet you. Unlike many zoos all the animals were up & active in the middle of the day & didn't seem upset with having people around. My kids loved the experience & I also had a lot of fun.

1st time going here, we had so much fun. The weather was great, all of the animals were out. We will definitely go back. It's a little on the expensive side but worth it for hours of fun.

This place was amazing and for a good price. States second biggest Zoo and lots of animals get to roam around where they please. They allow you to pet animals as you walk in and even offer a "safari' tour. 10/10

We hadn't brought the kids to the park since they were five. We weren't sure teenagers would think it was fun, but the park expansion is impressive. The safari is well done and entertaining. Feeding the giraffes was fun and seeing the new baby giraffe was a treat. A great way to spend a morning or afternoon.

Great time with the family! The kids get hooked right when you walk in. There are free range, friendly goats and a rabbit petting area. There are multiple routes to take so avoiding large groups and still getting to see everything is easy enough. The only 2 things that would keep me from giving this 5 stars are as follows. It would have been more enjoyable pushing our stroller around if at least the main paths had been paved. The gravel was compacted well enough that it wasn't terrible. Second, it's cash only for the tram ride thru the safari. I had cash on this particular day but if I hadn't we would have had to walk back to the ATM to get some. For the strictly non cash carrying folks out there this may pose a slight issue. The tram ride was fun and very educational so I'd highly recommend it. Overall great experience!

Probably the BEST zoo we've ever been to! The animals were all happy and very interactive with us. The staff was also super nice. We will definitely be returning!

Absolutely fantastic zoo! The animals are well cared for, the habitats are spacious and immaculate. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, many are interns from different colleges. We love this place! The safari tram is excellent! The Budgie experience is also very cool ! You need to come here!

Pleasant day trip and worth the entrance fee. Family of four, almost $100 entry. Other than the high school girl at entry everyone was pleasant, helpful, and seemed happy to have guests in the park.

This zoo has it all! From your basic goats and ducks to zebras and bongos. Bring cash and quarters if you want to feed the critters; there are feed dispensers throughout the park. Friendly whitetail deer roam free and inside the aviary you can purchase sticks of birdseed to feed the colorful little birds. For $5 you can feed carrots to the giraffes, which our 2.5 year old loved! You do have to pay to get on the safari tram to see the zebras (and several other species), but the $10/person was worth it to us. Overall, a bit pricey but we spent a few hours there and easily could have spent the whole day there.

For a small town, the zoo is really nice. We have been bringing our kids/grandkids here for decades. I love it as much as they do.

Beautiful, well-kept zoo. We visited from TX and enjoyed the baby goats, deer walking around freely, and many animals we do not have at zoos here locally. Great experience!

Aside from losing my car keys (lol!), it was a great zoo. So fun for the kids. The animal feed might not be worth it. If so, just 1 bag. The animals are fed that stuff all day, so when we got there (which was around 9:45am) the goats weren't too interested in eating it. I'd recommend just bringing some quarters for the random feed stands spread around the zoo. It didn't take away from the experience because the kids still loved petting them. Also, the parakeets are a lot of fun. It was a big hit with our family.

Beautiful, so meny animals to see. you can hang out with and feed goats. Get up close to deer and giraffes. there is a building full of budgie that you can feed, if you get anxious easy, I would just watch from outside. Good trip for the family. Lots of animals I did not expect to see.

Let's update prices from the questions section $24.99 for adults. $16.99 for kids. Also bring cash and lots of it. The feeding stations and all inside vending spots are cash only. Tram is $10 per person. I think this zoo has a lot of fun free interaction with animals as well with the bunnies and goats. It was just an unexpected high price to pay from the start without realizing the need to have cash. The animal exhibits are nice and the tram ride is informative.

Decent sized zoo. It's a good couple hour time killer for sure. goats and deer in the open for people to get pretty close to is a nice touch. The downside is this place is extremely expensive. It's $25 for adults and $16 for kids. I understand they are a private zoo and need to raise money anyway they can. We paid $5 for a bag of food for the animals which was really about .50$ worth and should probably been priced closer to $2. The walk in bird area is nice but you pay $3 for a small popsicle stick of food. I get it's private just very expensive for a family to go for a few hours.

Absolutely fantastic definitely one of the best zoos I have ever been to. My fiancé and I really enjoyed this zoo. It had a ton of different kinds of animals, all with really nice enclosures. There were many chances to personally interact with animals. A bunch of goats at the beginning just roaming around. A dear looking thing that also just roams happy to eat out of your hand. I was really surprised at the variety of animals on display for a private zoo. They had animals I've only seen at big zoos and all the enclosures looked really nice and clean. The pathways are one thing to be mindful of. They are like a gravel mix and when it's been raining the ground will have some puddles so wear a rain boot or something. The tickets were also a little pricey but this zoo was worth it. I also highly recommend buying at least one bag of food for the multiple animals willing to eat it.

Great zoo. Loved all the different animals they had really didn’t think they’d have such a collection in the Northwoods. The only complaint I have is they really should except credit cards and debit cards inside the park. I highly recommend this zoo.

It's been fun watching this place grow over the last 14+ years. What was more of a small two yard attraction has really blossomed into something more robust and true to scale for small city, not little town, zoos.

Nice little zoo. Get there early for less crowds and to park closer. Very nice petting area. Nice variety of animals. If you like birds I highly recommend the aviary experience. Bring some cash with you.

Really fun place! Very easy place to walk. Lots of different animals and things to do. Loved feeding the giraffes. The Siberian tigers and leopards and lynx and pumas and bobcats were really great to see. Lots of different birds and reptiles. And you get to feed baby goats. It's got everything. Ran out of time so didn't get to take the safari tram tour so that will be next time!

This place is amazing!! We absolutely loved our visit. There is a variety of animals throughout the park. You will see some favorites like giraffes, wallaby, monkeys, big cats (cougars, lynx, bob cats, leopards) and a variety of animals you have never seen before! Upon entrance there is a variety of animals to feed with the food staggered around the park for .50 cents. We enjoyed feeding the goats (baby goats), ducks, fish, swans and deer. Feeding the giraffes is a fun experience. It only costs 5.00 for up to 4 people. You can also feed the parakeets for 2.00. This was my daughter’s favorite experience. Parakeets fly free in the enclosed aviary and land freely on guests. If you take the safari park tram you will get to see animals that are near extinction, some aren’t even found in the wild anymore. The zoo is part of a global breeding program to hopefully reintroduce these animals back into their natural habitat. Watch out, some like to board the tram or get up close and personal. It’s all in good fun! This is such a fun interactive experience for kids and adults alike! We spent the day here. It is a big park with lots to do. I saw more animals up close then I ever have at our local Milwaukee zoo. This is a do not miss experience for any animal lover!

Excellent zoo to take family too! They offer bird, giraffe, trout, koi and deer feeding. Listening to the monkeys was our favorite. Wagon rentals are available. Food and beverage are allowed as carry-ins (picnic area available). The whole park may not be accessible by wheelchair due to terrain. If you want to return a second day, it is half price.

Absolutely love this place! Very fun to see the animal and go on the safari ride! Also the new baby giraffe was just born about 2 weeks ago. It was a beautiful sight to see!

One of our absolute fav zoos in WI! A must see if you're in the area! Don't miss out on feeding the birds, a family favorite for us! My boys also love feeding the deer that are casually hanging out. Lots to see! FYI: once you enter the zoo, everything is CASH ONLY (safari train, giraffe/bird feeding, concessions).

We really enjoyed the zoo. So many beautiful animals to see. The animals looked well cared for and the areas which housed the animals were clean. I would definitely go again.

This is a really nice zoo. Lots of animals to see. The animal enclosures were nice & set up so even if the animals were sleeping you could still see them. It is a little pricey, $25 per adult & then if you want to do extras like feed the giraffes there is an additional fee. Great place to spend an afternoon

Kids love it. It's expensive, 88 bucks for the 4 of us, but the variety of animals is very impressive. Peacocks roam freely, as do deer. You can be swarmed in the parakeet house, hold baby bunnies when you first walk in or feed the tortoises and/or goats. There are snow leopards, jaguars, tigers, marmosets, tamarins, lemurs, a mini-safari with an ostrich stampede, and a spot in another section where kids can feed carrots to the resident giraffes (subject to giraffe appetite). Overall a fun place but bring cash because after you pay your ticket fee, inside is cash only.

Great place to take your family for the day. If you want tostop half way through and get a bottle of soda or water it is $3.00 in machine. It is pricey to get in and for drinks but I just reminded myself all the animals they need to feed all year long. Everything they have to see there I felt the price to get in was good. Soda machine prices I felt it was a bit high. I would like to see more donation buckets and machine prices lowered.

Our second time here with the grandson Very fun for kids and adults. We encourage time here. If you haven't been here I suggest you check it out

A North woods gem. Privately owned meaning ticket price goes to care of animals and zoo. A more personal zoo experience than larger urban zoos.

This was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had at a zoo. Getting to feed and pet so many different animals was amazing! The safari tour was beautiful, and the driver was very knowledgeable and kind. The animals all seem to be very well cared for, and their enclosures looked to be kept incredibly clean. So many different species to see and learn about! Highly recommend!

I loved being able to interact with some of the animals. They are well taken care of and it is very clean! However a bucket of carrots for the giraffes is not a bucket. It is a very small drinking cup with a few shaved slivers of carrots. Just be honest don't call it a bucket! Only cash within the park. Which kind of sucks when you realize how quick things add up at concessions and such. Concession prices aren't the worst, but soda machine...$3.50 for bottle of pop... Admission is kinda high...$91 for 3 adults 1 child...before anything else. It was a fun day, good occasional place go due to cost.

Was brought here 20 years ago as a kid so just had to bring my own kid back. I remember there being way more deer and goats to feed who were eager to gobble up what you had. Today we bought two bags of food and pretty much left with 1.5 bags of food...perhaps nobody was hungry after labor day weekend? Also remember giving a bear a bottle of soda but must have been done away with? Lots of animals. And huge... was not disappointed. If I was forced to complain about anything I'd say the intelligent birds (cockatoo) need a buddy for companionship. BY FAR the hit of the whole dang zoo for a 3.5 year old was the bunnies. And they didn't bite either :) Spent a good 4 hours here and probably could have stayed longer if it wasn't closing. Would definitely come back.

A bit expensive. But it was all worth it! Lots of animals!! Very interactive animals ! And animals you can feed! The monkeys were so cool swing all over the place! The staff was very nice and willing to talk and help you out if needed!

We love this zoo! I have been going here since I was a kid, now I'm a mom taking my kids! The only thing is the deer seemed to have disappeared? We only saw a few, there used to be so many to pet and feed. The sloths are our favorite. You can feed baby goats, hold baby bunnies, last time there was a baby kangaroo we could pet. It's a very interactive, fun place for kids and adults. You can feed giraffes. You can dig for dino bones in a huge sand pit. So much more to explore!

I have been to many zoos and this is now one of my favorites. The kids loved feeding the deer and giraffes and petting the bunnies the most but all the animal exhibits were rocking. They had a nice dino play area as well. We will definitely be back!
