A day spent with wildlife is a day well spent. And if you’ve got a day to spend, we’ve got just the place – Wisconsin Deer Park. The decades-old attraction is home to an array of deer along with a menagerie of other animals – but that’s not what makes it unique. Its biggest perk is that many of its wild residents roam freely throughout the park, giving visitors a chance to feed and interact with them. Take a look:

But what really sets the park apart is the fact that there’s no enclosure separating visitors from the deer.

Navigating the 40-acre park is a breeze, thanks to paved, groomed, wooded trails.

As you meander along the trails, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to interact with the white-tailed deer that call the park home…but that’s not all.

In addition to whitetails, you’ll have plenty of chances to interact with American elk, American bison, the European fallow deer, the dainty Japanese silka deer, and more.

The park is also home to goats, birds, llamas, horses, emus, lemurs, and pigs, which you can view from a safe distance.

Photo-ops are as plentiful as the wildlife, so make sure to bring a camera.
