A winter tradition returns — with a new route! — as the Milwaukee County Zoo marks the 45th annual Samson Stomp & Romp.

Runners and walkers of all ages are invited to join in this popular event, honoring one of the Zoo’s most famous and beloved residents, Samson, the silverback gorilla (1950-1981). Money raised from the event supports all the animals in the Zoo’s population.

Winter can be one of the best seasons to visit the Zoo, made even better with FREE admission! (Parking and regular attraction fees still apply.) Visit the red pandas, Dash and Dr. Erin, in their outdoor habitat. They’re skilled climbers and can often be spotted high up on their habitat platforms. You might also find them sleeping, with their fluffy tails wrapped around and serving as a blanket during the coldest temps.

March to the Zoo on this special day when all guests are admitted FREE! (Parking and regular attraction fees still apply.) Meet Japanese macaque baby Mai — now almost one year old but still petite. Her name is pronounced “May” and means “brightness” or “dance” in Japanese. Mai is quite active and lively to watch, along with the other members of her troop.
