Below are some of the local animal attractions.

Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue – The Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue is located in Rock Springs, WI., Just a few miles west of Baraboo. It’s hard to believe these guys don’t have a home. Admission is around $10 and $6 for kids. The money of course helps support this expensive care effort. It’s worth it just to see the big guys up close.

The International Crane Foundation – Everyone’s seen thoes videos of the guy flying an ultra-light airplane with baby whooping cranes right? Well this is where that story started. The International Crane Foundation was founded here in Baraboo in 1973 and ever since has been working to save the world’s cranes. It’s a great tour. I know, I used to give ‘em.

The stars of the show are the Black Bears, The Wolves, The Bobcat and of course the monkeys!
