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!  

*This tour includes making enrichment with peanuts and peanut butter. If you require a modification for this activity, please email education@henryvilaszoo.gov.

We believe in giving our animals choices, and cannot guarantee animals will present themselves to be touched or fed. You will not receive a refund if an animal chooses not to be fed or touched.

Tours meet at the guest services building near the main entrance of the Zoo on the corner of Drake St and Randall Ave.

This tour is public. Max of 7 people per tour.

Please be on time for your tour. If you are more than 5 minutes late, we cannot guarantee you will be able to participate in the tour. End times are approximate and may shift due to the unpredictable nature of animals and animal choice.
