All paths are paved with bricks and suitable for strollers and for persons with disabilities. You can enjoy sitting by the picturesque duck pond, get close to a 2,000 pound horse, and if you're lucky, hear the coyotes howl. Cosley Zoo is free to the general public but any donations are appreciated and a donation box is provided. For organized groups originating from inside Wheaton School District 200, reservations are required but the entrance fee is waived. Fees are charged for programs.
All programs require reservations.
It's a new way to experience Cosley Zoo. It's programs in the amphitheater about critters and things. You may be able to be part of the show, hear stories, touch animals, or see a puppet show. It's a visit to the CritterCart where you can touch things like skins or skulls, play in the mud like a raccoon, and make crafts to take home. This program is funded with the assistance of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Illinois State Museum.
