The Great Admission Breakdown: Not-So-Hidden Fees and How to Avoid Them
Here's the mane attraction (get it? Because lions... mane... never mind): general admission prices vary depending on your residency status and age.
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
For the Explorers on a Budget (Milwaukee County Residents): You lucky ducks get a discount! General admission is a cool $14.25 for adults, while tiny explorers (ages 3-12) get in for a measly $11.25. Feeling extra frugal? Wednesdays are your best bet, with admission dropping to a wallet-friendly $8 for adults and $5.50 for little adventurers.
For the Out-of-Town Adventurers (Non-Milwaukee County Residents): Prepare to shell out a bit more. General admission for adults is a standard $14.25, with junior explorers (ages 3-12) forking over $11.25. But hey, at least you get bragging rights about visiting a different zoo!
Pro Tip: Those with a military ID or valid student ID can snag a discount on admission, so be sure to pack those along!
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.

Parking Pandemonium: Don't Get Eaten By a Meter Maid
Now, you can't exactly wrangle a zebra to take you to the zoo (although that would be pretty epic). Parking comes with a price, and here's the breakdown:
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
- Standard Parking: $12 - This is your run-of-the-mill zoo parking spot. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.
- Bus Parking: $16 - If you're rolling up in a zoo-mobile (which sounds amazing, by the way), this is the spot for you.
But wait, there's more! Milwaukee County residents can snag $1.75 off parking every day except Wednesday. On Wednesdays, they get an even steeper discount, with parking dropping to a sweet $4.
Word to the Wise: Carpool with your fellow zoo enthusiasts to split the parking cost.
Fear Not, Frugal Friend: There's Hope for Your Wallet Yet!
Here's the good news: the Milwaukee County Zoo offers FREE admission for children under 2 and members. So, if you're planning on becoming a frequent flyer at the zoo, a membership might be the way to go.
Additionally, the zoo offers various discounts and promotions throughout the year, so be sure to check their website before your visit. Who knows, you might snag a BOGO deal on giraffe feedings!
How to FAQs for the Financially Savvy Zoo-Goer:
- How to Save Money on Admission: Become a Milwaukee County resident (just kidding... or am I?), visit on a Wednesday (if you're a Milwaukee County resident), or look for discounts and promotions on the zoo's website.
- How to Avoid Parking Fees: Carpool with friends or family, or become a member (members often get free parking).
- How to Get in for Free: Be under 2 years old or become a zoo member.
- How Much Does a Camel Ride Cost? This information is not readily available online, so contact the zoo directly for details.
- How Much Does it Cost to Feed a Giraffe? Again, pricing information for animal interactions may not be available online. Contact the zoo or check their website for details.
