Wildwood Zoo, Marshfield

A very nice small, free zoo (there are donation boxes for people to help out). The bear enclosure is quite large, and uniquely designed. They have cougars (the big cat area is currently being updated, so we didn't get to see the bobcat or lynx), wolves (good size enclosure with lots of hollow logs they like to run through, they're very playful), foxes, and several large birds. Lots of flowers for butterflies, bees, and colorful beetles. A couple of pond areas, usually filled with ducks, geese, and seagulls. They have a couple sitting areas off the main path, but it looks like those may have taken damage from the recent storms. All-in-all, a very nice place to visit. A good place for children. Plan on spending around an hour. There's also a park with a playground just outside the gates, and ice cream shop at the corner by the main entrance.

The zoo was perfect for a fun morning with kids. The animals were very active and fun to watch. My kids enjoyed reading the info about the different animals and learning something new about each. The one big bummer was that they are doing construction so it made it a little difficult to navigate through, was a little loud and dusty in spots.
