Reviews of Zoological Society of Milwaukee
The zoo was a wonderful experience. There is an incredible amount of exhibits to see and participate with the animals. We loved the train ride and the lift ride in the zoo as well.
I wish it was more sensory friendly though. My youngest son struggled with trying to find “quiet” spaces and we forgot his noise canceling headphones during our travels. Our entire group had a fun time still.
Now one of my favorite zoos. My kids thoroughly enjoyed it here and we spent a whole day walking. If you went through every exhibit slowly you could potentially spend more then a day looking at everything. We spent around six hours here and will be back. It was very well maintained and very clean. I was quite impressed.
Very neat and clean. A lot of the food kiosks were closed and we were there on a Thursday. A few too many exhibits were closed and of course the cost to get in all zoos lately is a bit much $15 to park and two seniors and a child and it cost us over $60. We haven't been there in many years as we live in Chicago but we're spending the weekend in Milwaukee. Our niece enjoyed her zip line and we enjoyed the baby giraffe the most. She also got to feed him
Love getting to chaperone the kid's free field trips to the Zoo. We always have fun and they get to learn things about each animal from the staff that are all over and willing to give mini-lessons. Such a fun learning experience.
Prices keep going up however the amount of fun makes it worth it so we renewed our zoo pass so we can go as much as we want. We're also looking forward to the babies that are on the way n other new adventures like the dragons etc
My daughter took my great grandson and me to the Zoo for my birthday. All of us had a great time, I always loved the Zoo and I always will.
The Milwaukee zoo is always a great time, the new additions are pretty awesome. The animals weren't very lively but it seems like they come out more on a non-busy day. Highly recommended!
Not a large zoo, but nicely done. Loved the tram for a nice overview of the zoo. The train ride was also a nice extra. The was alot of food to purchase throughout the zoo. Plenty of restrooms. They were clean as well. There were alot of zoo personal walking around, the "seniors" my age plus, seem to enjoy handing out all kinds of info, whether it be about the zoo or animals you were viewing.
This Zoo is fantastic. We went on Labor day and it was clean, not packed and all the staff members were helpful and kind. It was definitely worth the drive.
Very nice zoo. I was impressed with the modern pleasant habitats. We just saw the outdoor exhibits this time. The weather was so pleasant on Friday October 21. Sunny and warm with a perfect breeze. The zoo had fun fall and Halloween decorations all over. Really in the spirit. I applied our admission fees toward an annual pass with 2 guests. I know I will return Very soon as it is really beautiful in the fall.
My husband and I had a wonderful time spending our anniversary looking at all the beautiful animals, especially the elephants.
Went for my son's school field trip. Being an adult visiting is much more depressing than when you're a child. A lot of the animals were sleeping or not out, which I figured would be the case since it is Winter. Wish it wasn't so expensive. $5 for a Gatorade is a little much. Not sure I would pay to bring my kids in the future.
Always love going to see the elephants, the pictures are of Ruth and Belle (she doesn't have any tusks)
Been going to the Zoo since I was a kid. Was there tonight for Zoo Lights. Absolutely beautiful! So relaxing and loved the lights. Hit chocolate, snacks, coffee, soft music playing as you walk. MUST check out the lights by the small mammal building as you walk down the hill. Stunning.....
Always a great time! Ive been going since I was a kid and we get annual passes every year now. My kiddo loves the train and playground even more than the animals 😂 Had a great experience feeding the giraffes last time! Staff is kind, food is good, events are exciting, animals are gorgeous, wax model machines are so fun(but pricey now at $5ea), and when it doubt it's the best place to go for a long walk without worrying about cars or anything!
My 4 year old son and my preteen and teenage niece and nephew had a blast. Just as my son was getting tired he found the playground and got his second wind while I tested my feet. All of them loved feeding the goats and riding the train and ponies. 9/10 would recommend and go again! The only downside was that several of the food options were closed probably due to covid precautions.
I havent been here in years...lots of changes... I miss some animals they used to have, but love the ones they do!
We love the Milwaukee Zoo! If you live in the County, a Zoo Pass is a must, especially if you have kids. It's always clean, and the staff is so friendly. Great events throughout the year.
This is gem!! My kiddo has gone here since she was 4y. The classes are safe, fun and unforgettable experiences!!!!
One of my favorite places to walk in Milwaukee. Animals are well tended for and grounds are always clean. A wonderful way to spend the day.
If you want to see the birds and penguins,they are now on exhibit for the summer.
Wild lights at the Milwaukee County Zoo was pretty neat.
I love this place came home for a visit and had to go.. got to see the new baby giraffe
Loved it and thx to the Ronald McDonald's House for allowing us to get out and have some fun in such HARD TIMES
Was at the Milwaukee Zoo. Spent an entire day there and still did not see or do everything. The best parts for me were the Aviary and the Aquarium.
Life long Milwaukee resident. Been there twice in 6 weeks. Love new hippo enclosure. Next up larger giraffe area???? Hope some polar bears arrive soon.
Clean well layed out nice enclosures at the time were there only one exhibit was closed my grandsons favorites were the aquarium and the penguins
Lots of babies to watch, enjoy, and love. One of the best zoos in America. The animals are loved and cared for.
Always great. Visited early in the day and the animals seemed excited to see us.
So cute.
Christmas lights were amazing!! Those folks at the zoo did a great job with the atmosphere!
Always a great day at the zoo amazing staff. My son's first visit and he loved the train!
We had family day here today. It was a lot of fun, as always.
The grounds are lovely & an opportunity to feed the giraffes (extra fee) is a nice treat for the young but overall the animal habitats are outdated and sad. Plus there are far too many empty cages. It was a bit of a letdown & quite expensive.
I absolutely love going to the zoo! It's a trip worth making many times. Admission and parking are affordable but I recommend bringing your own food as prices are a bit expensive. All in all, fun for the whole family!
The zoo was great the weather was awesome 👌 will go again. …
Really nice zoo! Very clean, lots of fun, and not crazy expensive like a lot of other parks.
We did the Sampson stomp 5k. Very well run and we always have fun every year doing this race!
This has always been a fantastic zoo even though some of the animal habitats are getting old. On our most recent visit we noticed the signage was lacking. Many animals off-display, not in they're habitats, etc. It's still worth the trip and definitely ride the train.
One of the best zoos to visit in the Midwest.
Today was a Great Day to Celebrate Sonya's Birthday at the Zoo!
Love the zoo!
So much to see and do at the zoo. We arrived at opening time and left at close. Still didn’t get to see everything. Will be going back soon to see the rest of the animals and attractions.
Nice place to go with the family. Enjoyed going to the train and the zip line.
Great zoo!! family oriented, great food variety of cool animals and park for kids to play also with petting zoo.
I love this place because I see the expression on my grandchildren faces when they go they be so excited and I do too happy just like a kid in a candy store when I go and I will just resend there couple weeks ago and I enjoyed it it was family day out myself my son and my grandchildren we loved it.
The zoo was very clean. Plenty of exhibits still open to make a day out of it. My nephew had a really fun time seeing all the animals. The zookeepers were also very nice and informative to any questions I had(even if they were dumb ones). Only downside is that the train ride is not long enough to take a nap on.
I love this Zoo. It's the treasure of the UMW. Well kept. Wonderful variety of wildlife. Great family friendly fun. If you live in the area it's well worth it to get the season pass.
Nice place for kids to visit, especially as the weather warms up
Great zoo sustaining the rest of time.. New exhibits coming bright future.
I love plants and the Domes was just the place to go and see plenty of them.
Makes going to the zoo affordable, very great way to get exercise and keep kids busy.
I didn't like the drive, to congested for me. But once there it was great as usual. I thought the prices were way to high. $3.10 for a bottle of water. For the massive amount of wildlife it was kept very clean and orderly. It was a hot humid day so the animals weren't as active, understandable tho.
We have a beautiful zoo! But..... The lack of animals is concerning.
I had a great time. The summer exhibit this year is dinosaurs and I really enjoyed walking through and looking at the different dinos. Almost all of which were robotic and moved around and made sounds. Lots of fun. They also have a penny machine with 4 dinosaur designs tio choose from, though it was kind of hard to find since it is by the hippos and rhinos instead of by the dinos.
If all of their different summer exhibits are that enjoyable than I feel it would be well worth it to spend the extra admission to see them every year.
It was very relaxing walking through the rest of the zoo as well. The bird and underwater/reptile houses were really nice. Unfortunately several of the other exhibits were closed due to the virus this year including the small mammal house and most of the big cats.
Just starting to feel kind of run down. Not much open and all of the animals are gone
No hippos ir goats but otherwise lots of great animals
Great zoo! Animals are so close
We have a pass as our grandkids love going to the zoo
We walked all over the zoo. Wore our facemasks as well as everyone else visiting the zoo only saw a couple that didn't have them up on their faces while outside. Hippo exhibit is an awesome showcase now of our hippos. Happy was moving around and delightful to watch him in the water! Elephant exhibit is beautiful. We only saw the ears of the baby snow leopard. Awesome day overall!
Always a blast at the zoo! Incredibly good COVID standards as well.
Had an amazing time at the Zoo.
Good time walking the kiddos. Kind of depressing seeing the animals in cages and glass but the kids will be tired after walking and playing.
I normally love the zoo but we went yesterday and only 1 restaurant was open otherwise it was only ice cream, popcorn, and pretzels! So the lines were ridiculously long! Very disappointing! The indoor exhibits lines were just as bad 👎 …
Too many buildings closed. The weather was great and I really do enjoy the outdoors. Had a great time with my family.
It was a good zoo. The 20th zoo I have been to in North America. One of the best bear exhibits I have seen. The aviary has a unique collection of birds, some of which you won't find at many other zoos. Well kept and clean. I will be going back someday.
The kids just loved it we had fun even if the sun was beaming down on us
We drove 2hrs for the ELEPHANTS! boys loved it, soo worth it! ❤
Decent zoo experience. More than a few exhibits were closed which is disappointing but understandable. Concession prices are a bit extravagant but does not pull from the experience. Enjoyed the time spent there and will visit again.
We absolutely love going to The Milwaukee County Zoo. All the staff are always very friendly and the park is always very clean. The animals look happy and healthy. Love the new hippo exhibit. They really did a great job on that. The Zoo is huge and yes there is a lot of walking but they have plenty of benches to rest. Plenty of picnic areas too. So much to see and do. I would definitely recommend going to the Milwaukee County Zoo when ever you can.
Always a great time to get some walking in and seeing the variety of exhibits.
A great place to visit even in cold weather
Excellent time for free. Lots of fun for whole family!
It's so great that everyone wears masks, is respectful of others social distance, and we see such great animals! With our zoo pass we just go quick for an hour, loop the zoo and head home. Some people find shade in the grass and picnic there. I appreciate the zoo is being respectful and responsible.
.I went to the zoo with three of my grandchildren from Iowa & each took turns pushing the. wheelchair and we had a good time. When they were younger we came to the zoo often .Grandma L.
Lots of baby animals fun to watch gorilla trek was fun
This is my favorite place in the city, just love visiting here. It is strange not having any opened buildings but still love being here
It is always good to visit the zoo.
We visited the zoo after a few years and loved all the new additions. It was a perfect day and can't wait to visit again.
Depending on the time of day you could either see every animal or half of them. The employees don't always follow the rules and then when they do enforce it, it shouldn't even be applicable. Prime example: a few weeks ago my daughter went on the carousel ride and picked one of the horses that said it was closed for social distancing but we were the only riders. So why it was a problem is beyond me but they wouldn't start the ride until she moved. I get she was just doing her job but come on man. It was a non issue. Other than that sometimes the other guests can be rude which they can't necessarily control but I think they should have a better security presence with how rough Milwaukee is getting.
This is our favorite family fun time place
Always love the zoo. Where are the penguins? My granddaughter really wanted to see them.
Always a nice visit. People are very helpful.
My first visit here. Very nice that the walkways are mostly shaded on a brutally hot day. My one complaint is that several of the exhibits have extra fees.
The Zoo is open during Covid w/mask requirements (but will provide "exempt" stickers/badges for special needs children if requested at the payment booths). Most exhibits are available w/indoor capacity restrictions (with one area in the indoor primate building closed), and most of the dining/concession areas are also shuttered. Weekday attendance is very minimal during winter/slash Covid and offers a welcome change from the crush & bustle of the summer crowds.
Very big and lots to see and do. This is my best zoo so far.
Always a nice place. Make sure to bring SUNSCREEEN! Discounts for Milwaukee Co residents
Soo glad to see them getting back to 'normal' thank you MCZ and to all the workers who are doing their best to help make the experience a positive one. The kids working Chicken Coop today...KUDOS!! and thanks for the hot fresh food.
Enjoyed the grounds and the animals! Most events were open even though it was an early season weekend.
We like looking at the animals and eating and drinking.
It is very large with many species of animals, both outdoor and indoor. They have a little train and food stands everywhere. It was an enjoyable experience!
Entertaining and educational. A real gem in the Milwaukee area.
Enjoyed the Christmas lights with the Grandkids.
Still a superb zoo! One of the best!
For a medium-sized city like Milwaukee, this is an above average zoo. Definitely with a visit if you've never been before.
It was a nice visit to see the animals. Not sure why the otters were missing.
Excellent zoo. Animals are well cared for and the staff try to anticipate patron questions with info signs. The bird house is an emersive exhibit and is my personal favorite. They are currently creating a larger more exciting environment for their elephants.
Great place to take your kids they have some amazing animals.
Love coming to the zoo! One of the best in the country. Definitely the best in the state. Always working on improvements. Proud to be a ZooPass member!
Attended the Zoo with a company outing. Had a great time. Well maintained grounds. Friendly staff and active animals.
Love the Zoological Society! They do great work supporting the zoo, Education Department has awesome classes and programs, the zoo would be lost without the services the society provides for them. Keep up the awesome work!
A great day at the zoo!
Always a fun time!
Went to see the baby otters and they were so cute and very playful
The giraffes were awesome the grand kids loved . Food places are closed .They have vending machines for drinks and snacks.
We are zoo pass members, so we come here often. Great place to take the kids.
Always a great time at the zoo
I have been a member for almost 20years. Things have changed but not necessarily for the good. Prices are high for families. Useless and underutilized skyglider add a few years ago. I go about 3 times a month and see the skyglider open about 3 times a year. Always empty. Just one of many examples of wasted money, time and space.
Enjoyed a great day at the zoo with my wife, all the animals we're very active that day
I enjoy the zoo. But I LOVE the penguins.....lol
The zoo was clean and popular. It's only short coming was not all the eating places were open.
There were ALOT of animals that weren't able to be seen otherwise it's a nice facility and I had alot of fun.
The animals where lovely but it was unbearably crowded and the people around the inside exhibits where far too crowded and made it very hard to see the animals.
We love the zoo! There is so much to see and the kids always have a blast!
Hard for the elderly to walk it however fun!
Please, clean the penguin exhibit because it wreaks of dead or rotten fish. Otherwise it was a clean zoo with enough room to get in some serious walking.
Love the zoo. Don't like the short hours, only open till 3. Los of animals out and about.
Absolutely fun and very accommodating for people with special needs. Staff is very friendly and helpful. A great experience!
Love the Milwaukee county zoo. So nicely maintained. Feels clean and safe.
Nice zoo. Quite a few animals. Kids liked zip line and ropes courses too.
Had a great family night and got some good pics
The new elephant and hippo exhibits are stellar
We had a great time with the kids ,but some of the exhibits were closed
Thursday is so peaceful 😉 …
Milwaukee best zoo in the world

Some of the exhibits were closed. But the rest was a good time
Great place to take the girl and her child I had a blast..
Beautiful day at the zoo!
We t to wild nights, great time! I recommend you to go!!!
Family Fun Day would be better if they cleaned the walk ways of goose droppings and trash
Men, buildings were closed or limited capacity. Bummer. Always good to see the animals.
Limited admissions during covid makes for a great family time without the crowds.
Was a blast tons of fun for the kids
Big Zoo and great for childten. Lego display educstionsl and amazing.

The Zoo is beautiful in any season. Delightfully quiet in winter.
Me and my daughter class took a field trip to the zoo I most definitely enjoyed it
A lot of things are closed but the zoo is clean and interesting.
Milwaukee Zoo is a beautiful park, old trees with plenty of shade.
A great and interactive animal learning experience for young and old.
Great day with the grandkids, not too many animals out and about.
Family favorite and you don't need kids to enjoy.
Wonderful to get out, even if several inside places were closed.

That poor Hippo was swimming laps like it was his day job.
It's always nice going there, the line for the restaurant and restroom could be better.
Great for kids
We had such a good time here, would really recommend giving it a visit!
All birds are off exhibits, except local fly ins.
Can never get enough of this place. Always something going on, and great learning for all
Nice, but need a few more places for concessions.
The kids always have a great time at the Zoo
Loved all the new exhibits
