On the Road Friday ~ Henry Vilas Zoo, Madison, Wisconsin

Henry Vilas Zoo
click on the link below to visit the website

On our trip to Madison in October of 2017 we ventured to the zoo.
Henry Vilas Zoo is one of a kind, it is a no charge zoo. It is packed with exhibits. 
We took our bikes with on our adventure to Madison. Madison has an amazing bike trail system. The bike trail was right out our hotel front door. It was easy to bike around the city to the attractions we wanted to visit.

Off to the Zoo we go.


 Peek a Boo
Wisconsin is the Badger State!
 Peek a Boo, two badgers.


I could watch Prairie Dogs all day. They are so funny.



 Out of Africa





We were very impressed with all the African animals.

The story about the bears.
From Montana to Wisconsin.






This guy really is cute!

  
You have to love that face. 


I will end our tour with what all three men in my life laughed and laughed about. Yep, that goes for my oldest, my husband. He is the one who took the photo!

This Rhino really had to go. They laughed and he just continued to go. They informed me later, they could not believe how much that Rhino had to go. It was like he was never going to stop.

Boys will be Boys ... Forever!  Ha! Alright, I will be honest, I started laughing too. This Rhino did seem to have a never ending stream. 

Have a great weekend my friends.

  2. What a great zoo! I love it! Also, yes boys will be boys. "Everybody poops" yet they always still giggle when they see that site! Jeff would have done the same I'm sure!

  3. Typical boy 'bathroom humor'...lol....it never ends-even in adulthood.

    Those are all great pictures. It is hard to believe that those badgers can be as vicious as they are sometimes, isn't it? Love that Capybara! Didn't even know of that animal. Have a great weekend, Carla. xo Diana

  7. I love the two badgers with just their heads sticking out. Capybaras, I think they are related to either rodents or pigs? I have seen them on T.V. I do just love watching Prairie dogs! How is this zoo supported if they don't charge an entry fee?

  8. Fun times! I haven't been to HV Zoo in years, which is sad because it's only about 15 minutes from my house. The bike trails are great, aren't they?!

  9. Laughing at the rhino. I love going to the zoo....we have a nice zoo here in Birmingham, and we have a famous rhino named Ricky and he's famous for the carpet commercials. You should look him up!
