Join us for our annual Party for the Planet event happening at the Zoo on Saturday, May 2nd from 10am – 2pm!

Thanks to our friends at the Dane County Regional Arborists Group, we will once again be offering our popular tree climbing activity. Volunteers will help kids climb up in to some of the mature oak trees on Zoo grounds. Wheelchair harnesses will be available!

We will also be giving away American Hazelnut and Sycamore saplings for you to take home and plant while supplies last. Come learn more about how the actions you take at home can have a big impact on the planet!
