Wild Wishes

Make-A-Wish Wisconsin is celebrating 40 years of life-changing impact on 8,000 kids battling critical illness. Wild Wishes, a 40th birthday party, celebrates the community of people it takes to grant those wishes - including wish kids and their families, volunteers, medical referral sources, donors from across the state, and you!

Join us for a day of celebration, food, entertainment and of course, animals! Event tickets are a great value and includes entrance into the zoo (9:30am-5pm), parking, lunch celebration (11am-2pm), entertainment including face painting, princesses, Wisconsin Garrison 501st Legion and a scavenger hunt plus your choice of one of the following zoo attractions - Train, Carousel, Summer Exhibit (Dinosaur Discovery), Skyglider or the Zoo Expedition Shuttle.

The ticket cost for an adult ticket is $30 - a $65 value, and a child's ticket is $20 - a $50 value. Wish kid tickets are complimentary.

Purchase tickets by May 20, 2024 to guarantee your t-shirt size. Please note that all attendees must have a ticket. Zoo Passes are not applicable for special events. 

If you are a wish family and the cost is prohibitive for your family to attend, please contact Jaci at [email protected]. We do not want anyone to miss this special celebration!
