Great Zoo, small admission price
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/25/07
A few weeks ago my husband, our daughter, and I came to visit the Racine zoo. They do charge admission now, $4 adults and $2 children. We were pleasantly surprised at the size and quality of the zoo. I expected it to be small and not have a diversity of animals. I was wrong. Not only do they have a wide variety of species, they are in very pleasant surroundings. I think the zoo is probably a hidden treasure. It was a fantastic zoo including childrens petting zoo and train rides. The combination of clean, well kept animal housing, pleasant staff, and the location on the shore of Lake Michigan make this an absolute jewel. A family could easily spend a nice half day strolling the grounds and eating a picnic lunch along the lake. Racine must be very proud of their zoo. We will be back!
