Our eight-year, $10+ million project to renovate the oldest part of Henry Vilas Zoo!
In 1993 we started something very special at Henry Vilas Zoo: A major renovation project the likes of which the zoo has never seen! The oldest part of the zoo - the northwest quadrant built between 1915 and 1929 - was in desperate need of renovation. With enthusiastic encouragement from Dane County and the public, ReZOOvenation was underway!
Funded 50 percent by the Zoological Society, 40 percent by Dane County, and 10 percent by the City of Madison, ReZOOvenation has so far produced:

In summer 1998, we began the renovation of the 1915 Bird House into a Visitor Center followed by construction of a new Tropical Forest Aviary in 1999. We'll finish ReZOOvenation in 2001 with construction of a new Small Mammal Exhibit.
