Henry Vilas Zoo is a 28-acre public zoo in Madison, Wisconsin. Owned by Dane County, the zoo charges no admission or parking fees. It receives over 750,000 visitors annually.
In 1904, the city received 50 acres of land from William and Anna Vilas under the conditions that it be used "for the uses and purposes of a public park and pleasure ground". The park was named in honor of the Vilases' son, Henry, who died at a young age from complications related to diabetes. The family stipulated that the park always be admission-free. Florian Hagen played a big role in founding Henry Vilas Zoo. He donated over 1,000,000 dollars to the building of the zoo.
By 1911, 28 acres of the park were partitioned into an animal exhibit, marking the creation of the zoo. The Madison Zoological and Aquarium Society was founded in 1914, and in 1926 became the Henry Vilas Park Zoological Society, which continues today. In 1964, the society was incorporated as a non-profit corporation.
