We love living in and serving Madison. As a family, one of our favorite places to spend time in town is the Henry Vilas Zoo.
The zoo is home to around 650 animals from all over the world and features over 115 species. Of the species living there, 20 are considered endangered and vulnerable. Our daughter is always especially excited to visit so she can see her favorite animals and learn something new each time.
Have you been to the Henry Vilas Zoo? If not, it's definitely worth checking out. It's an incredible asset to our city and one of the few admission-free zoos in the country, operating mostly through public donations. When you visit, consider giving what you can to help keep the zoo running.
