Dear Friend of the Zoo,


Have you made a resolution this year? Whether you want to better your health, get out more, or you have resolved to ditch the resolutions, Miller Park Zoo is here for you. So get those extra steps in while exploring every inch of the zoo - from River Otters to Red Wolves. Or find your zen looking for Tangers in our lush Tropical Rainforest.


Whatever you are looking for this new year, find it at Miller Park Zoo. With Family Memberships starting at $60, you and your family can stick to those resolutions while supporting the zoo and its mission.


Happy New Year from your friends at the Miller Park Zoo and Miller Park Zoological Society!

THE AVIARY IN MILLER PARK ZOO'S TROPICAL RAINFOREST

SPECIAL REQUEST FROM OUR BIG CATS


As the Zoo continues to take on the challenges that Covid-19 presents for our animals we are looking for more ways to provide daily enrichment for our animals. Because a cat is a cat, no matter the size, we are in need of the following items:

  • boxes
  • paper towel tubes
  • paper bags
  • tissue paper
  • live Christmas trees


Donations can be dropped off in the zoo gift shop. Our cats thank you!

STILL IN THE GIFT-GIVING MOOD?
