Guest Photos

This month’s guest photos come from Brenda Steele (top photos) and William Hickman (bottom photo) with these excellent pictures of our Red Pandas, China and Burma. Don't let these sleepy photos fool you, Red Pandas are incredibly agile and perfectly adapted to live their lives in trees.

Have a great photo or story from a trip to Miller Park Zoo? Share them with us at photos@MPZoologicalSociety.org.



We love seeing Miller Park Zoo through your eyes!

What's Happening

Giving ZooDay is around the corner

The holidays are right around the corner, which means Giving Tuesday is coming soon. If you are able to give this holiday season, please consider giving to the Miller Park Zoological Society. Funds from this giving Tuesday will be going to the South America project, set to open in 2023.

Help us make some new friends

Construction may be under way, but we are still raising funds for the construction of the Zoo's South American Project. This project will not only provide a new home for the Galapagos Tortoise, but will also bring three new species to the Zoo! Giant Anteaters, Bush Dogs, and Chilean Pudu will soon join the MPZ family.

The Zoological Society is Hiring!

The Miller Park Zoological Society (MPZS) is currently looking for a full-time Development Manager. MPZS manages the Zoo's membership program and fundraising efforts, and helps support the Zoo and its mission. Check out the posting below for more information on the position.

Gearing up for Wild Lights

Spooktacular had an amazing turnout this year and the Zoo is already decking the halls for Wild Lights!

Mark your calendars for December 2, 3, 9, & 10 for Miller Park Zoo's annual Wild Lights event. Escape the holiday stress with a relaxing walk through the Zoo.
