Outstanding zoo especially for being free. Our son loves the playground in the children's zoo part, when its open, sometimes it's closed a lot which can be the only bummer. But we love feeding the goats and the train and merry go round are nice, everyone does have to pay to ride, even parents and babies. The new Arctic exhibit is nice and well done. They just a new rhino which we can't wait to check out. There are also new lion cubs.
There are a few entrances, we like to use the one facing Lake Wingra. There is more parking and in the summer there is a beach we like to play at before and after we visit.
