This is the most amazing place ever - you'll never experience the variety of cranes in the world like you do here. It's informative, they are beautiful birds and the guides could answer all questions. I've been here several times over the years & am always looking for a way to get back there. A must for bird-lovers. More

Not much to say, because it was pretty boring. The tour was over two hours, and all you are doing is looking at birds or empty cages where the birds are supposed to be. Cranes are mean, nasty animals. The tour guide pointed out how dangerous power lines are to birds, but informed us that more studies need to be... More

This was amazing-beautiful cranes from all over the world, and you get to see them up close and personal. Learn about helping cranes migrate with an ultra light plane and also how to "raise" a crane chick without having the chick imprint on humans (they would the not want to mate with other cranes) Involves a puppet and a crane...

My title says it all. They have a great selection of cranes. It's right off I90/94, outside of Baraboo, a nice little community to catch lunch afterward--go to the city square. More

This is the only place where you can see all 15 species of cranes. There is an education center on site. The area where the cranes are is small, easy to navigate and wheelchair accessible. Very beautiful birds. There are more hiking trails through the forest for those who want to do more hiking. More

We had talked about going to this place and just never got there. We drove up on a warm, sunny Fall day and really enjoyed the beautiful grounds, and the incredible cranes that we saw. We learned a lot about the work the Foundation does and we got to observe the cranes up close. We couldn't stop taking pictures and... More
