Sarah Bright

Good for small kids but they sure don't have much there. Very clean and friendly staff

David Erdoss

Nice little zoo, my Gandkids loved it.

Willow Johnson

could be cute, and it was clean, but the animal enclosures were so small. None of the animals looked happy although they all looked healthy.

Kim Griffin

They could keep up the grounds better.cut grass in enclosures that are not being used and empty pools and clean them

Nell E

The zoo is small and has parking just outside of the gate. The staff were very friendly and let us pet the goats. The animals looked well fed and happy. It didn't smell like some zoos do. It was clean and they let the chickens run around instead of keeping them cooped up.

Teresa Kreutzmann

Great small, cozy, friendly clean.

Michael Powers

Beautiful

Matt Foss

Great area for gatherings and the zoo keeps improving.

Debbie Kilgallin

Stumbled upon this. What a pleasant surprise!

Marissa Buckley

Love visiting this zoo and park when I come to Baraboo. The zoo is small but they have some pretty cute animals. Park is absolutely beautiful! They have an upper and lower part. At the zoo, they have little food dispensers you can purchase food to feed the animals. Really neat place to check out. No admission to the zoo but donations are accepted.

Suzi Collins

Such a cool place. Make sure to say hi to Clover

Ali Brande

Small family zoo. Lots of fun for the kids! They are always adding stuff! The park is very nice also! Has a pavlovian!

Elianna Hill

This place is small but has so much to see. My kids didnt want to leave and I dont blame them. There is a playground right out side the zoo to help get any extra energy out.

Steve Brasch

Free zoo, with a variety of animals. If you have :30 minutes and looking for something to do head here. Everything is outside. River otters where very active.

Lindsey Strahota

Free parking accessible to zoo and park. Very nice little zoo to walk through. They have just added new otter exhibit. Not far of a walk is the park. Play equipment is nice and fun for kids. Picnic tables around for seating while watching over park. Restrooms available as well. All in all I highly recommend Ochsners park and zoo.

Maddie Heise

We went early on Saturday morning and all the animals were out! I was very impressed. It is small but has a good selection and our kids were happy. We saw and talked to several workers and they were all so kind and shared lots of cool information with us!

DeB Marshall

Great little zoo! Just remember don't chase the chickens!! Lol

Yolanda Trujillo

Tiny zoo that half the exhibits were empty and the small animal feed dispensers were either jammed or empty. Not worth the 50 minute drive. But could have been worse.

Ben O'Leary

Very nice & simple. Simple is good. The variety of northern animals were neat to see. The tortoise out walking around & eating the foliage was cool to see.

melissa schumann

Perfect zoo to take my three year old too, small and not overwhelming for him, good selection of animals, do fun events throughout the year, zoo keepers are friendly and knowledgeable

Rod Merritt

Very nice professional small zoo. 4 stars because it is small, otherwise it would be 5 stars. Nice variety of animals for a small zoo.

Trisha Hojem

I hope when the renovations are done that it is worth all this waiting! We go a few a times every summer and in the last 2 summers there hasn't been much to see. I haven't seen the monkeys the last 2 times, or the bears, or the eagle, and I haven't ever seen the Otters, or the Lynx awake since they made the exhibits. The owls are really cool though!

Tyrone Manthey

Very delightful. The animals were quite active today and entertaining. The staff were friendly and helpful. A wonderful experience!

Nicole P

Cute little zoo and nice area to walk around. Berryboo the black bear was super cute! Attached to a nice park so we also walked by the river for awhile.

Amy Goff

Enjoy it every time ive gone for the past 40+ years. I still miss the rabbit house. I can remember fox, beaver, porcupine, the goat with four horns, the very friendly turkey. Things change but never my admiration for this place. Keep up the good work.

neil martin

Beautiful park! Huge shade trees and a nice little playground. The little zoo is a big bonus for the kids!

Cute little zoo. Not many animals, but well kept. Small walk to the river walk.

Such a cute little zoo! The kids had a blast. It's not to big. Which was perfect for us. The kids tend to lose interest in things pretty fast.

Love coming here. Have since I was a kid!! Have to see the pigs and prairie dogs. They've recently added on a very nice area with the deer and a few other animals. It turned out beautifully. You're up higher so you get a great view of the entire area.

rick rugg

Nice small little zoo for the kids is kept clean

Jeffrey Peper

I have been going to this zoo for 50 yrs and am pleased to se the upgrades keep moving this gem toward the future Their are so few of these small zoos to enjoy. If you have children take the scenic drive to Baraboo this spring or summer take a picnic lunch.

Lyle B

Nice park and zoo. This was my first visit but my wife was raised down the street from it. It was a warm day today so the animals were relaxing to keep cool. The wolves were hiding out but after some sirens they came out it was nice seeing them howling then they sat to look at the people, very nice.

Angela Hughes

My grandkids really enjoyed this place, as did I. You otter see it for yourself! ;-)

Leaca Moerland

Cute little out-of-the-way park.

Very nice little zoo with friendly workers. The play area was very nice too.

Naomi Crump

Stephanie Inman

We had a fun and education time

Marina Tingblad

The EXACT size we expected. Animals seemed happy and keeper answered our questions and was very friendly. Great free little city zoo.

gene cridelich

Being disabled there was more holes and ruts than a plowed field

Dawn Beard

Oh my goodness I love this place! It is small, but it's free and the animals are super cute! The rooster walking around freely makes me nervous, but my daughter lives it and tries to pet it. The donkey is so friendly and let's you pet it and feed it!! I wish the female prairie dog from vilas zoo was able to come out her cage tho. I get why but it's still sad to see her like that.

Amery Mittenzwei

Small zoo, but it's free! A good spot to let the kids burn off some energy

Niki SS

Love our hometown zoo. Just wish the exhibits were larger for the lynx and owls, and otter and beaver exhibits were completed.

Madeline Lucas-Stilley

What a great little zoo, went at about 10 AM Sunday morning and there were very few people there. Mostly all the animals were out and that was unexpected. The otters were adorable and the wolves were beautiful. We did a little of the river walk as well which was very nice.

Daniel Clark

Great place to take kids small Zoo and it is free

Nice small zoo. The otters and wolves are the best. Free to see but you can leave a couple $ donation.

For a small town zoo it's hard to complain. Seems to be growning every year

Matt Noll

Nice little small-town zoo! There's a nice playground right next to the Zoo to keep the kids entertained and a short walk down to the Baraboo River Walk.

Joni Dalhoff

We had Great fun with our Granddaughter ❤️

Jeremy Langenberg

Small free little zoo

Sharon Zuch

Great small free park with quite a few of animals. Nice open hours. Very nice play ground for kids to play and nice place to have picnics. Shaded spots with large oak trees, picnic tables and a couple of places to to eat under shelter. They do rent shelters out for parties and get togethers.

ParanoidSky

Loved it so much! A cute little zoo with friendly animals. Went this morning and they have owls, goats, lynx, a dog, a donkey, a llama, a black bear, timber wolves, demotivated deer, otters, crane, geese, a monkey, and a really cool bald eagle. The otters were very friendly coming up to the glass and checking the people out, wish they had a bigger pool though because they loved swimming. The goats and pig were also very friendly and we fed them. Highly recommend coming to this free zoo and donating.

Charles Henning

Great little zoo. Can't wait for the remodeling to be done. It'll be even better.

Caiden Loomis

Quaint tiny zoo in an unexpected location. Relaxing and beautiful.

Beth Dorn

Small park, but worth a visit. Great place to have a picnic!

Katelyn Hewitt

Beautiful nature walk with so many animals my child loved it so much and so did the whole family definitely a place I want to go back to many times!!!

Bob Schreiber

This is a truly hidden secret of Baraboo. A must stop if visiting the area. It is a works in progress, but still very cool.

Tamara Lancaster

What can you say? Picnic anyone? Great shelter, awesome trees, plenty of play activities...jungle gym units with slides and other fun activities as well as swings and the ride-on, bouncing animals.... SPEAKING of animals...the park has grown with the community and has several exhibits for everyone to enjoy, best yet, it's all free. Sweet and simple, create memories on a whim, without the need to make it an event as you might with a zoo or adventure park.

Margot Flynn

Very nice little zoo. No admission charged, but make sure to leave a donation.

Gary Reissmann

Great little zoo. Plan on 2 hours max though.

Love Dogs

Great place. Great people. Great animals. Some animals could have looked a wee bit healthier though. The animal I thought looked unhealthy were the prairie dogs they aren't to bad, but they sometimes have cuts and they fur is almost always matted down or unhealthy looking. Also I think it is kind of a bummer that you don't really show off your monkeys more. I know they can do tricks and I think people would take great joy in watching that. I love when zoos have programs like that because when people see animals in zoos they may want to help donate for endangered species in the wild. Idk just a thought.

Donny Decorah

Nice free in town zoo! Clean and a good variety of animals.

Heather Helgestad

We always have a nice time here. With the zoo and the playground and the walking path next to the river.

Joseph Dedrick

Enclosures seemed small and lots of concrete, no swimming area for the beavers. Hopefully it gets better as the improvements kick in.

Danny Corey

It's pretty small maybe a dozen animals but it's fun to take the little ones for something to do. Plus free admission and classes during the summer so for what it's worth it's definitely pretty awesome!

Brandon Rizer

It sits on a beautiful park with well updated playground equipment. They have also kept the historical buildings and some equipment too. The zoo is in the process of getting a well deserved face lift. The wolves come from my favorite zoo I fully support in greenville, wi. If they will back this zoo, then I do too.

Tracy Downing

Always a wonderful place to visit. It is currently being renovated but you can still visit the animals. We visited the monkeys, owls, donkeys, prairies dogs, pigs, lynx, wolves, fox, and many many more.

Caleb Strickland

Such an awesome and beautiful park. Always nice and clean. Great access to the river, and there is a zoo! It is not huge but for a free zoo you can't go wrong. Such an amazing place to just spend an evening at.

Craig Johns

Very cool little zoo

Steve Bird

Nice park. Kept up and fairly clean. Will visit again

Mitchell Jensen

It's a beautiful park with lots of shade & wide open space. There's some really nice exhibits in the zoo. There's a black bear, barn owls, monkeys, otters, deer, geese, wolves, pigs, llamas, prairie dogs, & a donkey. There's also a nice riverfront there with a walking path as well.

Shelly Bourdo

It's a very nice small zoo. The animals seem to be very well cared for and healthy. They have been improving the exhibits. I can't wait to see the otter exhibit when it's done.

Vera Buerger

They have done alot of updating these last two years!!! Deffintely a place to check our and keep donating for the growth to proceed

Andrea B

The park was great. Picnic area and plenty of space for kids to play. The sand could use some cleaning up (sticks and trash found in a few spots) but not too troublesome. Would absolutely recommend.

Van Adrian

It is a great place to just relax and walk around.

jackie fuller

All the animals are amazing!!

Tamara Senecal

Looks much nicer then it used to years ago.

Rachel Jacobson

Quick small zoo with a picnic pavilion and playground. Great stop for the family on a lazy, sunny day.

Ann Lenz

Unfortunately it looks like they could use a lot of donations.

Bradley Lein

All the animals had room to run and they had habitats that were like the real thing to them and they had to find the food that they were wanted and the monkeys loved finding food because it reminded them of the wild and they had a black bear and a fox they had 2 black bears but one died of cancer too months before I came.
