MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI – Father’s Day is Sunday, June 17, and at the Milwaukee County Zoo, and all fathers receive free admission.

According to the Zoo, giraffe dad, Bahatika, has fathered four calves; two males, Tafari and Kazi; and two females, Zola and Maya. He welcomed his most recent calf, Maya, on May 15, with mother, Marlee. Male giraffes, known as bulls, can be up to 18 feet tall, three times the average height of a human father.

Zoo officials said that fathers would be interested in checking out the Zoo's dinosaur exhibit: Jurassic Journey. The dinosaur exhibit is just $3 after regular Zoo admission.
