130 acres and home to 75 species. More than 800 animals from around the world.
Shalom offers an unique twist from a typical zoo. Most of our animal residents have large natural habitats. They live in an atmosphere more like pristine wilderness, with forest, bubbling streams, lakes & ponds. We often hear how happy the animals look.
For the last 15 years, TripAdvisor has ranked Shalom Wildlife Zoo as the #1 tourist attraction in the West Bend area. Shalom is also ranked the #1 zoo in Wisconsin and shares the honors of being in the top 10% of attractions worldwide.

There are four miles of gravel roads that run through the zoo. Touring the zoo can be done by walking or renting a golf cart.
Along the way you will encounter many friendly animals close up. You will have the chance to pet and feed many different species. Just look for the sign that says "Please Feed Me". Purchase approved animal feed at the admissions counter.

We arrived early afternoon and stayed until they closed. We had the privilege of seeing the big cats getting fed for dinner. What an amazing zoo! The animals were ALL healthy and well fed. They seemed happy and content in their areas with no physical evidence of stress or duress. Our visit was an absolute delight. The zookeeper was attentive to our questions, and patiently and thoroughly answered with enthusiasm. You could tell he enjoyed working there and promoted the animals and Shalom.
Highlights: everything, but mainly seeing Ginger and her cubs. What an excellent momma she is! Watching Sony the puma stalk and chase Sugar and Spice at the fence was enjoyable. Sugar and Spice were like, "Dude, what's your problem!" Anyway, we didn't experience any negatives. There were places for kids to rest and play and to give young parents a break. We give Shalom a solid 5+ stars, and look forward to visiting again. Oh... and the entire zoo was incredibly clean.

This place is awesome! For $7.50 you get a tub of animal feed and there are so many animals to feed! We rented a go cart for 2 hours and had a blast, definitely the best way to make your way around the whole complex with small children. You can park and hop out anywhere. Lots of cool animals and interesting learning spots all over.
