Gifts to the Community Year in Review

December gift - Milwaukee County Zoo

My kids and I enjoyed our winter trip! The ice sculpting and Christmas tree display was one our favorite specials alongside all the animals we usually don't see. Thank u providing us and many others who may not get to see the Zoo during the colder months! We definitely appreciate it and look forward to visiting again soon!
