Review & FAQ:

The Racine Zoo was started in 1923 when Jacob Stoffel donated a number of animals to the park board. Other animals were added and the Racine Zoological Society was formed. Today there are more than 100 species of amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles. The zoo is visited by 125000 people per annum and has a membership program. Animals Depend On People Too (ADOPT) enables patrons to sponsor the upkeep of certain animals. Field trips are organized by the staff. Safaris and behind-the-scenes tours are offered on the premises. 'Wild' children's birthday parties can be held at the zoo or at home.
