The Fourth of July is a wonderful time to gather with friends and families to celebrate our nation. In this time, it is also important to recognize and remember those who protect us and our loved ones. The Milwaukee County Zoo honored military men and women by inviting them and their families to enjoy a day at the zoo.

Though we should all honor these men and women daily, we made it a priority to make Military Day at the zoo extra special. Several members of our armed forces were able to meet some of our animals during interactions in our shows. They all even received a sea lion salute!

Oceans of Fun thanks all members of our military, past or present, for all they do to protect what we cherish. We hope we made this Fourth of July weekend memorable for these brave men, women, and their families by sharing our seals and sea lions with them.
