MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee County Zoo is inviting you to ride your bike at the zoo on Sunday, Sept. 14 – when the Ride on the Wild Side bike ride takes place.
Ride on the Wild Side
What we know:
For 2025, the 30th year of the ride, riders will have four routes from which to choose.
The Critter Caravan is a family-friendly zoo route that stays inside the zoo. Guests can take as many laps as they want until time runs out.
Riders can also choose from one of three long-distance rides starting at 15 miles up to an extended 30-mile ride to commemorate 30 years. The distance rides begin and end in the zoo but go through the Menomonee River Parkway along the Oak Leaf Trail and Hank Aaron State Trail.
