The 27 best zoos in and around Milwaukee

Such a nice zoo. Clean. Staff is pleasant and seem to really like their jobs. Animals appear to be well cared for. The predator prey set ups are nice. The plush scooters are fun. The gift shop is nice. There are multiple food options.

Very nice zoo with shade and easily walkable. They had all the major animals. The only downside was some of the exhibits. For example, the big cats (e.g., lions, tigers) are all inside. It was cool seeing them so close, but I couldn't help but feel bad for them in such tiny enclosures. Now, it appears they each take turns using the outside exhibits, but it still, it was sad seeing them in these glass cages. I haven't really seen that before. There are a variety of food options and spread across nicely. The elephants had a big exhibit and appeared active. Hippo was also really neat.

CYRONI THA MACARONI — ALMOST GOT CHARGED BY AN ELEPHANT (BUT IT WAS JUST A BANANA PHONE MIX-UP) PART 1 of ALOT SO STAY TUNED.. 🚨 The scene? Milwaukee County Zoo. Cyroni standing tall, phone in hand, legacy in progress. Then BOOM—elephant locks eyes like it’s snack time. 💥 Was it a charge? Was it a warning? Cyroni says nah—it just thought my phone was a banana. And honestly? That’s the kind of energy we bring: so fresh, even elephants want a bite. 📢 No fear. No flinch. Just a legendary moment. Cyroni didn’t back down—he just laughed it off like a true explorer. Because when you’re built for adventure, even wild encounters turn into wild stories. 🔥 #LOUDNCLEAR #CyroniThaMacaroni #BananaPhoneConfusion #ElephantEnergy #MilwaukeeZooMoments #BuiltForWildLegacy BIG THANK YOU TO THE MODERN WOODMAN GROUP!!!

I really liked this zoo! Very beautiful and a lot bigger than the map make it seem! All I could wish is the train and the skyride were free or at least cheaper and that the parking was cheaper. The day I went it was a pretty empty parking lot so I would've hoped it would be reduced or free. I love the koi fish!

This is a nice escape out of Illinois. In the summer months, it’s a great time to walk around and see different animals and look at different attractions.. The elephant and monkey displays were great for the kids. Signage was clear and most things were easy to find using the map or the signage The zoo is adding more features this year, which is nice to see. One room for improvement is some of the food places were not open on a Friday during summer. Online ticket purchase is easy and saves you time when you park.

It was Such a a Great Time... We really enjoyed seeing the Many , Many,Many Animals from all over the world that Now Live at the Milwaukee county zoo. The staff were Helpful and informative. We will be back for all the Family fun

One of the best zoos ive been to. They have a sky lift and train to view the whole park in different ways. The way the animals were treated and the facilities they were kept in were more adequate than most. The park is huge, plan accordingly. Not everywhere was wheel friendly and there was a lot of bees but everything else was great.

I was so blessed to be working with Yazan! such a great real estate agent! The moment I texted him, he responded immediately and he's never hesitated to answer any of my questions! he kept me updated on the market, showed excellent level of communication, and gave such great recommendations and suggestions to my home buying inquiries! highly recommended!

I recently referred a client to Yazan Salem, a realtor in Wisconsin, and I am beyond impressed with the level of service he provided. From the moment my clients connected with him, Yazan demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to their needs. His in-depth knowledge of the Wisconsin real estate market, combined with his attentive and personalized approach, ensured a smooth and stress-free experience for my clients. Yazan's communication skills are top-notch; he kept everyone informed and updated at every step of the process. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and address any concerns promptly. My clients felt valued and well-supported throughout their home buying journey. Not only did Yazan go above and beyond to find the perfect home for my clients, but he also negotiated effectively on their behalf, securing a fantastic deal. His dedication to ensuring the best possible outcome for his clients, even if it meant more work for him, truly sets him apart as an outstanding realtor.

Thank you, Yazan, for taking such great care of my referral and delivering an excellent experience!

Yazan has been so knowledgeable throughout the entire process from start to finish. He is always considering things you don’t even think of. My family and I couldn’t recommend a better agent to work with.

Yazan is an exceptional realtor who made my home-buying experience smooth and enjoyable. His deep knowledge of the market, professionalism, and dedication to client satisfaction were evident throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Simply put, Yazan is an excellent real estate agent to work with. He provides amazing professionalism and expertise as well as exceptional communication.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Yazan on multiple deals and he has been nothing but exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy property.

Great realtor, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I was homeless last year and I never thought homeownership was achievable. He helped me find my dream house in Mount Pleasant

Nice, clean affordable space. There could be some updates to the carpet beyond anything else. But for the space you get and your own ability to transform the space, renting this place out for your next occasion is worth it.

A lot of space especially if u want a large dinner party its more like a banquet hall

Attended night at the races fundraiser. It was a great time.

Excellent food. Super great people.

Shockingly not a club with or for lions. Or even about lions. I'm a lions enthusiast and it was disappointing

Inexpensive event rental in Tosa.

Very classy place.

That's a real steam locomotive.....come make memories with us at the Milwaukee county zoo 🥰

Train is granddaughters favorite part of zoo..a must for any family. At the end is best for us let's kiddos know we are going home now

My kids loved the train, we were surprised how fast it was! First time riders! So much fun!

Can't tell you how many times I've been cramped up inside this teeny train. Always a good time from when I was a kid to when I was able to share the experience with my own.

They are getting rid of the steam locomotives 🚂, heart breaking

The zoo mobile is a nice overview of the whole zoo, it is about a 20 minute ride for only $3.

Always an integral part of a visit to the zoo!

If I Could Give This Place 0 Stars, I would. The nurses are lazy. A lot of them don’t care to help or just sit at the nurse station almost all shift. You get a few that go beyond and help the cna’s out. Some of the cna’s are lazy, especially night shift. Not all of them but most of them. They can barely keep cna’s and housekeepers to stay, never enough supplies/diapers or enough towels/wash cloths. Ann Lopez and Elaine or whatever her name is. Are both sneaky (along with a few other office people) Always sweep things “under the rug” always covering their ars. Of course they have their favorites and would do anything to save a penny. Even if it means canceling your shift without notice. Ann will ask other aids to cover a shift and act like they didn’t just leave someone to dry. Unless you kiss their ars, they’ll treat you anything but nice unless they need something from you. I WOULDN’T recommend bringing your loved ones or working here. Ann and Elaine are NOT great at their job. Just like any other business. They Lure you in, make it sound sweet and all but your loved one will get moved into different rooms and mistreated by other residents. If something is broken and such. My heavens, don’t let it happen on Friday/the weekend cause no one will take care of it until the weekday. Ann and Elaine make sure the nurses can’t contact them after business hours, even though they’re the main people to contact when something happens. So if something happens, the nurse has to take care of what she can which makes it a bigger load on top of what he/she has to do.

My father was at St. Francis for 7 weeks and his medical care was terribly mismanaged. After a hospital stay, St. Francis was supposed to resume his diuretics, which they didn't. As a result his edema went out of control and he ended up back in the hospital just hours after he was discharged. When my mother and aunt went to pick him up, they had to ask for help to get him into the car. The staff did not notice that his body was so swollen he could barely get into the car. Also, my father received nebulizer treatments at St. Francis, which the physician at the hospital explained were unnecessary and can in fact be harmful. The rooms are very small and there are no telephones in them so it is very difficult to communicate with a patient there.

This is a Horrible place!! If you love your family please choose wisely. The care is poor the staffing is poor as well. The facility is ran by a bunch of bird brains with no good intentions.

Staff don't help patients when they are sick, they just tell patients they are fine! If you love your family don't bring them here

I came here myselfcuz I wanted something smaller and then I found out that the people that work here are so compassionate and caring, excellent professionals, with a sense of getting.You better for the next venture of life.For me I give this place a 5 🌟 rating all day 😀 long. Thank you for the help that you gave me 😊

Very attentive staff and they really push you in rehab!

Great little playground in the third ward

This is so small it’s like a playground in someone’s backyard!
