There is nothing better to do on a Spring or Summer day then head down to the Milwaukee County Zoo, which in my opinion is one of the best in the Midwest. It is HUGE so remember to bring comfortable walking shoes if you wanna even make it halfway around. This is a great place to take kids to get them involved face to face with animals. In the past they used to let the peacocks and flamingos walk around the park without any supervision but from whatI've heard they've changed that. Despite this it is still a great place to spend an afternoon... watch out for high food/parking costs though. In addition they also offer deals on Wednesdays!
