Henry Vilas Zoo - Madison, WI Review

This is a FREE zoo in Madison, Wisconsin.  It's very clean and well kept. They have a great variety of animals including: lions, giraffs, bears, rhinos, an ostrich, flamingos...

My children love this zoo.  There is tons of room for them to explore and a lot of room for strollers etc., but it's not so big that they can't make it all the way through in a couple hours.  They have food but you can also bring in your own food if you wanted to do a picnic etc.  They are also building a playground right inside the zoo, but there is also a nice park just outside the entrance of the zoo if your kids wanted a jungle gym.

 The university also uses the zoo for classes so it's great education for kids of all ages!  I can't say enough great things about this zoo and the community it's in!
