Review:

Take the kids to the Milwaukee County Zoo, a fun wooded park spread across 200 acres that provides a home and natural habitat for 3,122 animals belonging to 377 different species.

It is amazing how far the zoo has come since its modest beginnings in the 1890s. It started as a tiny mammal and bird zoo in a barn at what is now Washington Park.

You can visit mammals, fish, birds, amphibians, and reptiles at this exhilarating zoo. Most of the animals are alive and thriving, and some, like the dinosaurs, are just a part of the special outdoor exhibit, which includes moving, spitting, roaring life-sized dinosaur models.

If you are wondering what to do in Milwaukee on a sunny day, the Milwaukee County Zoo is a great place to visit with the whole family. The Zoological Society's Education Department organizes tours for school and youth groups, day camps, family programs, and workshops.

Find it at this Address: Milwaukee County Zoo, 10001 West Blue Mound Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, Phone: 414-256-5412
