On Wisconsin Behind the Scenes Tour
This tour has the most animal encounters and up close look at animals!
Goooo Badgers!! Let’s learn about some animals who call Wisconsin home! We’ll inspire our badgers by making them a special treat, then hear a story or two about how our residents came to live here at the zoo. At the end, we will offer a treat to our amazing bison who is perfectly adapted to live in our cold weather and learn more about how HVZ helps animals both locally and globally!
