The zoo is free and runs on donations. It's a cute little place and its on Lake Wingra which also provides some nice views. The fall colors here are gorgeous. If you walked the entire zoo you could probably see everything in 2 hours so its not huge but its worth a stop. You can even see the local mascot there....Bucky the Badger.
