Sleeping Goldfish

As we move deeper into Autumn our residents are making their own preparations for the arrival of winter. We'll follow up with a blog post on the difference between sleeping and hibernation in the coming weeks but thought we'd leave you with an interesting bit of trivia.

The Sleeping Goldfish

Did you know you've probably owned a hibernating animal at one point in your life? The Domesticated goldfish that live in outdoor ponds hibernate to get through the winter.

They float at the bottom of the pond below the winter ice in a state of reduced metabolic activity. The greatest danger to the goldfish is the accumulation of ammonia in the water from their own waste and decaying plant matter.

Budgie Parakeet Encounter Will Be Closing For Season September 5th

Our Budgie Parakeet Encounter has quickly become one of the favorite attractions of our guests. Thank you to everyone who has come to the zoo and enjoyed the Budgie Parakeet Encounter; one of the many opportunities guests have to get up close and personal with the animals.

The Budgie Parakeet Encounter will close for the season on September 5th but you still have a few days to come out to the zoo and enjoy all the animals.

September 6th will begin our daily Fall Park Hours: 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

See you soon!

Striped Hyena Baby Grows Up

Can you feel the summer waning? Here in the northwoods of Wisconsin we have noticed a change in the air as well as few of the trees beginning to change.


One of the most telling reminders of how fast our summer has gone is to look at how big all of the zoo babies have gotten over the past few months.


It wasn't that long ago that we were introducing Kya, the Striped Hyena when she was just a baby. Here is a photo of Kya that was taken recently.
