One of the many popular attractions is the picturesque pond that is home to several varieties of ducks and swans which has fascinated park visitors for generations. The Irvine Park Zoo is an extremely treasured attraction in the Chippewa Valley. It is a fun and educational experience for the entire family, adults and children alike. One of the highlights of the zoo area is the petting zoo. This is where all the visitors are actually allowed to have hands on contact with the farm animals in the Red Barn.
Kids really enjoy purchasing pellets to feed to the calves, goats, llamas, sheep, ponies, etc.
A lot of our Zoo Docents can be found here, taking out animals for people to see and pet. Volunteers help out tremendously at the Irvine Park Petting Zoo. Docents aid in feeding, cleaning, exercising, and general care of the farm animals. They also guide petting zoo tours, answer question from the public, and extend petting zoo hours. The Black Bears, foxes, raccoon, monkeys, large cat and many other animals provide all our Irvine Park visitors with a rich and fulfilling zoo experience.
