The 2023 A La Carte at the Zoo will feature music, food and fun and more than 2,000 animals. Popular Milwaukee restaurants will be at stands located throughout the park, while six stages of entertainment will offer musical stylings for all, from hip-hop and jazz to Top 40 and more.
In addition to the variety of food offerings, A La Carte wouldn’t be complete without Zoo favorites like the Safari Train, Animal in Action Talks, Ocean Connections, carousel, goat yard and Kohl’s Wild Theater.
