    Great family adventure. Nice exhibit. I wish all of the animals listed were actually there. The truck in front of us did every thing that they were told not to do which made it. Very unsafe for us being the car directly behind them. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff. We will visit again.

    We came here with our extended family last weekend while we were camping in the area. This is a…read morereally nice find for this area! We loved walking around this large zoo and being able to interact with so many of the animals. It was nice that we were able to buy food to feed the animals when we purchased our admission. We arrived about mid-day, so that meant it was feeding time. After the animals were fed (what looked like maybe Panera breads and rolls) they were so loud and lively! It was really a cool thing to see. If you have small children with you they might be scared by the loud sounds, but we did see a lot of kids there who were enjoying their visit. The little petting area at the end was a nice bonus too. The attendant was very friendly and told us about some of the animals. Not a bad way to spend a morning or afternoon if you're in the area, just make sure to wear good walking shoes!

Kittens are to spend 2 years with their mothers to build their immune systems. 3 Kittens were placed with someone with no experience before shipping them off to more roadside zoos. Animals are kept in small pens/cages. They pace, a sign of psychological deprivation. This is road side torture. Please do not support them!

The park land was gifted in 1904 by Sen. William Vilas, naming the park for his son. One of the conditions of the grant was to maintain public access to the park without admission charges. The zoo opened in 1911, with the City of Madison getting ownership in 1937. In 1983, the ownership was gradually handed over to Dane County. There was a non-profit fund raising arm for the zoo (Henry Vilas Zoological Society), but that relationship ceased in 2019 with a dispute with no distinct replacement. Thus, operational costs are borne by the county government for now (with a small endowment). An important ongoing goal is to maintain accreditation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) for operational excellence. It was a hot weekday, so the zoo was pretty empty (of both visitors and animals), and none of the snack/food areas were open. The American Flamingo exhibit was a colorful stop, and the Aviary building was a good place to observe parrots and bats, along with aquariums.
