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:

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.
