| WISCONSIN ZOOS The NEW Zoo is located 11 miles northwest of Green Bay, within the Brown County Reforestation Camp. The NEW ZOO and Brown County Reforestation Camp together function as a 1560-acre recreational area serving over a half million visitors each year. The miles of trails, picnic areas, trout ponds, and animal exhibits provide fun and enjoyment for the whole family. The Wildwood Zoo was established in 1937. This zoo covers over 60 acres of land and boasts a variety of animals and birds from North America. Key exhibits are the grizzly bear, cougars, and timber wolves. Prairie Dogs spring out of the holes in their exhibit to peek at spectators while the Great Horned Owl and Bald Eagle cautiously observe all of the activity. There are also geese, ducks, swans, muskrats, rabbits & squirrels who make themselves at home on the zoo grounds. The large animal exhibits include bison, elk, white-tail deer, and turkeys. The zoo also features Sensory Gardens, which includes a wide variety of flowering and non-flowering plants designed to encourage the visitor to experience the senses of sight, sound, smell, and touch in a unique and tranquil setting.
