Ochsner Park Zoo

Ochsner Park Zoo is a small municipal zoo within Baraboo's Ochsner Park, occupying roughly three acres in a broader public recreation area. Its compact setting gives the destination a straightforward, community-zoo character, with animal exhibits integrated into a park that also offers shelters, playgrounds, fishing, sports facilities, and other outdoor recreation. The zoo's collection includes both native and exotic wildlife, giving visitors a varied selection despite its modest size.

Animal exhibits have included black bears, wolves, otters, lynx, deer, monkeys, llamas, bobcats, prairie dogs, birds, and domestic animals such as goats and pigs. The variety makes the zoo a manageable stop for travelers who want to combine wildlife viewing with time in a city park rather than devote an entire day to a large zoological complex. Ochsner Park Zoo is best suited to a relaxed regional outing, particularly for visitors already exploring Baraboo and looking for a compact wildlife attraction with a broad mix of animals.
