Cosley Zoo, Educational animal facility in Wheaton, Illinois.
The five-acre Cosley Zoo features native Illinois wildlife and farm animals, offering encounters with white-tailed deer, red foxes, and Blanding's turtles.
Founded on August 17, 1974, Cosley Zoo has expanded from a modest farm exhibit to include diverse wildlife species and educational programs.
The zoo maintains educational initiatives that connect visitors with nature through animal demonstrations, conservation programs, and seasonal community events.
Wheaton Park District residents enter free with Universal Resident ID, while non-resident adults pay $10 and children under 17 enter at no cost.
During winter evenings from November through December, the zoo transforms into an illuminated display featuring holiday lights and a Christmas tree sale.
