EVENT DETAILS

May 18-Oct. 5, 2024

Sponsored by


This summer, unearth a part of history with the Zoo’s new dinosaur exhibit. Walk
through this exhibit to see more than a dozen life-sized dinosaurs. Learn where
they once roamed the earth including in the United States. Each dinosaur is
unique and you can dig up some interesting information.

Go eye to eye with the Carnotaurus, a dinosaur more than seven feet tall. Its
name means “Meat (-eating) bull” because of the distinct pair of thick horns
over its eyes. Speaking of eyes, this dinosaur had forward-facing eyes, which
was not common. See what else you can uncover at this summer’s special exhibit.

Tickets are $4 a person, but Zoo Pass members can use their electronic coupons
for free entry. Or, members can save their coupons and receive free admission
during Nights in June.

OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS

We’re working to build a better world for all living things. At the Zoological
Society of Milwaukee, we create and participate in conservation initiatives that
work to address the conservation of endangered species in the wild and those
breeding in human care. We invest in conservation education, monitor high-risk
species, and focus on preserving natural and zoo habitats.

Every Zoo Pass you purchase, class you attend, and program you participate in
brings us another step closer to our conservation goals. Together, we can make a
difference!

SUPPORTING THE ZOO

What began as an informal group of community leaders dedicated to raising funds
for and bringing animals to the Zoo in 1910 has grown into a full non-profit
organization now dedicated to conservation and education while continuing our
original mission to support the Milwaukee County Zoo. Together with the Zoo, we
work to drive attendance; enhance awareness; and build functional, safe and
natural habitats for the Zoo’s incredible animals. We also work to raise funds
to cover the cost of creating and maintaining educational and innovative
programs for the community and to fund several of the Zoo’s wildlife research
and conservation projects.

How We Help the Zoo


HELP THE SOCIETY

Join us in working to conserve wildlife, endangered species, and the
environment. Let’s make a difference together and create life-long memories
while we’re doing it. Pursue a passion for conservation, a respect for nature,
and love for animals while encouraging future generations to get involved.
