Ochsner Park Zoo

"It was honestly a great zoo, it’s good to see the animals actually well taken care of and good sized enclosures. The prairie dogs were my favorite, and the goats and donkey loved to be pet."

"Great little zoo! Easy to walk and see all the animals. Admission is free but they do have donation boxes which we used to donate! The lone Prairie dog and the beaver (see video attached) could use a friend or two!! Worth the visit. Loved the owls!"

"Great place for younger children. Easy walkways. Small enough so that it dies not overwhelme you. Our age group was 18 months to 12 years old. Parking is close. A park, picnic was also there so you could spend a good few hours here. Price was right, free."

"We were looking for something to do after spending the afternoon at Devil's Lake State Park. Someone suggested the zoo in Baraboo. Having never been there we decided to check it out. The Ochsner Zoo Park had a nice variety of birds and animal exhibits laid out in an interesting way. They had nice flower gardens and landscaping throughout the zoo. One added neat touch was a variety of small objects such as gnomes,, animals and sea shells scattered in some of the gardens. My grandchildren loved searching for the. The zoo itself is located in a larger park. Right next to the zoo was a really great playground! It had lots of stuff to do as well as picnic tables and shelters. My grandkids love the playground too."

"It was such a nice experience with my daughter and her class. The zoo is free to get in. The animals are so cool to look at. It is not a huge zoo but it's free so you can't go wrong. Plus the park is right next door. Which is tons of fun too!!"
