This is the original animal house at the Miller Park Zoo. It was not unusual to hear the lions roar at night. The zoo is located across the parking area from what used to be the swimming beach. Swimming in the lake and a visit into the animal house were often a part of summer days.
The newest exhibit is the "Zoolab," featuring mouse opossums, a six-banded armadillo, a butterfly exhibit and more. The zoo is also home to red wolves, bald eagles, a tropical rain forest with free flying birds, snow leopards, a Sumatran tiger and many other species. Be sure to view the feeding of sea lions that takes place mid-morning and at 3:30 PM daily.
The zoo was free for many years, but today there is an entrance fee. Parking is free.
