Brookfield Zook 90th Anniversary
If you didn't know this is about to be the biggest summer ever at Brookfield Zoo, you haven't been paying attention.
One of the biggest attention grabbers has already arrived at the zoo.
To celebrate 90 years of fun, the zoo installed a 130-foot Ferris wheel. The view of the zoo from up there is breathtaking.
Another cause for celebration is the return of the Brookfield Zoo dolphins. The building that houses the dolphins underwent extensive renovations, requiring the animals to be moved to the Minnesota Zoo.

The latest update from the zoo for the 90th summer includes 2 KOALAS and 3 90s CONCERTS.
Somewhere amongst a pile of eucalyptus, Brumby and Willum, Brookfield's two male koalas will be enjoying I don't recall ever happening at the zoo. A summer concert series.
