Fun for Kids of All Ages.

Whether you're young in years, or young at heart, Henry Vilas Zoo has fun-filled exhibits, classes, adventures, and rides to satisfy your playful side. The Tree House and Adventure Play Area will have the kids exploring and get them active as they discover all the neat places to climb, crawl, swing and jump. In the Discovery Center and Herpetarium, you can see the finest details of a Screech Owl's skull, a python's skin or a penguin's feather!

The Zoo isn't just for animals. Take an exciting ride on our new train or the Conservation Carousel. There's something for the child in everyone! Please click on a subcategory to the left to find out more educational adventures for children.
