This an awesome free zoo! I don't think i can expand much on what everyone else is saying. It is the darling of Madison, has lions, a tiger, giraffes, badgers, etc. and now features a gorgeous indoor carousel and the only restaurant I've ever heard of with windows into a polar bear exhibit. The gift shop has some beautifully designed t-shirts along with the normal stuffed animals and jewelry.
