A fun day out doesn’t have to break the bank. In fact, you can have a wildly good time at Concord General Store and Zoo without spending a dime. As you’ve probably guessed from the name, it’s both a general store and a zoo. What the name doesn’t tell you is that the zoo is admission-free and home to animals from all walks of life.

Located just off the roadway in Oconomowoc, Concord General Store and Zoo is billed as a haven off the highway – and it really is!

Alpacas, pigs, poultry, goats, and sheep are just a few of the animals that call the zoo home.

That’s right; it’s an admission-free zoo, so it won’t cost you a thing to visit. Of course, the zoo does accept donations.

Animal feed is also available for purchase; however, you’re not required to buy it.
