With over 2000 animals, the Milwaukee County Zoo attracts over a million visitors each year. The zoo is divided into five continental areas, each with animals native to that region. Some of the critters you'll see include grizzly bears, red pandas, snow leopards, African elephants, giant octopus and Siberian tigers. There are fun indoor exhibits, like the "Small Mammal Building" which has two sides – diurnal (lemurs, tamarins, river otters, meerkats), and nocturnal (fruit bats, vampire bats, fennec fox, bush babies, Kinkajou). The "Primates of the World" building features spider monkeys, bonobos, gorillas, orangutans and siamangs; kids love the Aquatic & Reptile Center. |
