Incredible, incredible viewing of ALL cranes. You get close & observe these beautiful birds. A must see for any birder.

I was so excited- a local artist just happened to mention this place to me while I was viewing her gallery, and when I arrived I was anything but disappointed.It was an amazing and educational experience, and I was so thrilled to get to see so many beautiful birds- every type of crane there is!Looking forward to revisiting in 2020 when all the exhibit reconstruction is done :)

The ICF does what it does really well. Birders and natural history lovers will enjoy the excellent facilities, interpretation and information on cranes plight and the international communitys fight to protect these unique, graceful birds. Families may not find a lot of bang for their buck here, as cranes arent too entertaining and theres not much kid-oriented activity. There are beautiful trails and grounds, however, so kids have lots of room to run around and get some exercise. Pretty amazing that one person started this world-class facility on some family farm land!

Excellent place to see these guys up close. Take your camera. This group is breading the endangered cranes and helping re-populate the species.

Wonderful mission that these dedicated workers are able to do. Seeing every species of crane in their native habitats were both educational and inspiring. Being able to travel to one place to see all of the crane species is great. Cant wait to see how it gets even better when the renovations are done next year.

Beautiful and peaceful area. It was raining and we came with a disabled guest-they had a motorized scooter for her and umbrellas for all of us! It was an awesome experience seeing 13 of the 15 crane species they have. We went with two teenagers and they both enjoyed it.

This was a quick side trip. Very neat to see all the cranes. Great photo opportunities were available. Really enjoyed the trip and will go back again.

This incredible crane sanctuary began with the intent to save the whooping cranes. Now the sanctuary remains the only place in the world to home all 15 cranes. Each species has a survival plan and the sanctuary works with other centers to help these birds continue and thrive. Some of the whooping cranes are even released into the wild. Membership is highly recommended. Not only do you get access to other facilities across the nation, you get to support the preservation of the cranes. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The facility is accessible and even provides a few handicap chairs, cold drinking water, and places to sit and observe. They are also walking loops for the avid birder to enjoy reclaimed prairie and woodlands.

Amazing place to visit! They have every crane species of the world here at this facility, great giftshop! Wonderful staff and very informative

The cranes the cranes! Great way to get up close and personal with these lovely creatures as well as get educated. Must see.

ICF is a true WI/INTERNATIONAL treasure. They have examples of every crane species of the world available to see on their campus in Baraboo. When the new renovated grounds open in May 2020, it will be an even nicer environmental learning center. Craniacs the world over will have a great place to bring their families and friends.

Wonderful place to see all the crane species in the world,the only place actually. Nice grounds and walking trails. Go and support them.

I cant wait til their new building project is done. Wonderful walk with great places to sit and watch the cranes. Super gift shop and the best tour guides.

Such a wonderful place. They have cranes from all over the world. Theyre kept in a more natural habitat. Like the sandhill cranes, through places like the International Crane Foundation, theyvebeen brought back from being an endangered species.

The first time I was yelled at and enjoyed it (two of the cranes were quite vocal with us!) Thoroughly enjoyable experience. The staff was exceptionally friendly, so much so that we decided to become members of the flock! We will be back(for free!) and plan on bringing others!

What a fantastic destination! Not only will you have the opportunity to see all 15 species of cranes of the world, but they have some of the best examples of preserved and restored prairies you’ll find anywhere.

The only place in the world all 15 crane species can be seen including the Whooping Crane!

Wonderful place, friendly staff.

Great place to visit.

Much better reason for a trip through the dells. They do a lot of good work there and you get to see all kinds of cool cranes. They also have a large looking nature trail, have not used it myself Went here for my sisters birthday

Great place to stop and see a variety of cranes from around the world.

Totally disappointed. We were told we had to watch a 15 minute video and then go on a GUIDED tour that lasted 1 1/2 - 2 hours. The website says You may also explore the site on your own. There were not many cranes, maybe 1-2 in every other cage.Not meant for kids, especially when its 90° out and the tour moves at a snails pace.

The tour was interesting and the different cranes were wonderful to watch. However, some of the pens are long and narrow, and the cranes sometimes stay at the back preventing a good view. Also, some of the cranes stay in their enclosure and cannot be viewed. The Whooping Crane exhibit had one crane visible but the angle for the viewing area was awkward. The foundation does good work but my sense was they tolerate visitors rather than encourage them. Nice gift shop.

Was there a long time ago. It was great. Great memories.

Awesome and peaceful place. If theres a place in the world you can call magical would look like this one. The staff is always happy to help and very kind. The smell on summer is marvelous.

They really make it like the cranes natural environment

Amazing! Every kind of crane in the world here. So beautiful! Staff is knowledgeable and the trails are great for short hikes.

Very knowledgeable staff, and you can tell that they love being there. Very informative. Doing great work.

We were able to explore the entire area with or without a guided tour. We took an unguided tour and saw many beautiful birds from all over the world. Did you know baby cranes look like baby ducks?

A tranquil place to learn and reflect on nature

Conservation at its best. Educating the public, working with local governments around the world, preserving natural habitats, and protecting endangered species. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the gift shop has cool things, but NOTHING compares to seeing the cranes, listening to them call, and watching them dance.

Beautiful. I have been here many times and will go again too. They are doing great work for conservation and I highly recommend people visit!

They have the 15 species of cranes available for viewing. Some of them are on the endangered species list, which is really sad. The cranes seemed to be well cared for and in clean environments. There are free electric scooters available for the disabled, which really helps. It was a great place to visit.

This was phenomenal. A must see for bird lovers. Great hiking also. Was 8.00 in June 2018

Please note the International Crane Foundation is closed for the 2019 season, due to a $10 million renovation. The site will reopen in the spring of 2020.

Interesting place. Non-profit that does great work. Friendly, well informed staff, must visit if you are into birds or the environment.

An amazing place! The only place in the world you can see all 15 species of cranes. Beautiful area and easily walkable for seniors and kids.

Nice place. Peaceful and relaxing. This place is doing great things

Wonderfully informative. Perfect spot to go on a Saturday morning.

Fabulous destination. Ability to see most of the worlds crane species is a real treat. The Whooping Crane exhibit is the best available. The work being accomplished by the ICF is nothing shy of amazing. Kudos!

ICF is an amazing organization. The work the are doing to help these species and their habitat, worldwide, is just so impressive. And this is the only place in the world you can see every crane species!

This is one of my must visit once with your children places for residents of Central Wisconsin.

Peaceful and scenic. Self guided but they do offer tours.

15 species of cranes from all over the world. Amazing, great exhibits, informative movie, unique gift shop. Definitely a must see stop!

Very nice still. It is great to see so many cranes in one location and in their native souroundings.

Facinating place. When we were there the cranes seemed as curious about us as we were them so they came right up to the fence allowing for great pics and close ups. Its worth the time.

An excellent place to experience rare birds you may never see if youre not a traveler!

Delightful for all who come. The birds are majestic, the grounds are peaceful and full of life, and the experience is relaxing. Great for visitors of all ages!

Not much to see. Rather disappointing experience. Especially that their sidewalks are made out of GLASS yes glass. Me and my girls were constantly picking out little glass chips out of our sandals.

Most Cranes are fenced enclosures. If you can get away from a large tour its nice. Also hiking trails and gift shop.

Excellent place to learn about the numerous cranes all around the world. Also supports a good cause, restoring cranes to their natural habitats.

Great place to see cranes (the birds). The layout and exhibits are really nice and the staff is incredibly friendly. Be sure to check out the nature trails while youre there.

An opportunity to see the wide variety of Crane species. The Whooping Crane display is stunning, with Cranes in a marsh in front of a quiet viewing area.

Great tour for kids. Did a great job with the kids

Wonderful place to see multiple species of cranes all in one place. In the background they have done wonders to help save both the numbers and the habitats of these wonderful birds.

A must see for anyone who cares about our planet and our wildlife!

Excellent facility! Very informative! Will be going back when the trees change colors!

I support anyone helping wildlife abd they try hard. The place is very clean . Although not good for children , no shade and only restrooms at the entrance . I was unaware they dont rescue birds they just have cranes. Most of which you cant see and the birds get mad and squak when you watch them. Better for if you want a safe place to hike and support a good cause.If you arent really into cranes only or hiking a lot than dont. Personally got annoyed by constantly being told by workers no way ive seen a crane when I grew up in florida and saw them all the time. Pretty boring exhausting hike if you arent very obsessed with cranes. Thought with such a big area theyd at least have a rescued chipmunk .nopeAnd no interaction with birds is allowed you only see them at very far distance.definantly for enthusiasts or members of foundation not a attraction.

Excellent location, and friendly workers. The ICF is one of them places you must visit when youre up here in Wisconsin!! Bring you camera and bring some money to help these amazing birds out.Ricky

Very interesting place to seeStaff was very nice and helpful

Beautiful birds and such a wonderful preservation story with regards to the whooping crane. Lovely refuge!

This is an excellent place to visit. It is very well maintained and the staff does a great job educating visitors.

While this place might not be on a typical to do list when visiting Wisconsin Dells, I would highly recommend going. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful and the cranes a majestic.

Amazing place with variety of cranes. So peaceful too.

This place is a gem!!! A must see.

Amazing collection of wild cranes of all types in natural settings

If you are visiting Madison or Wisconsin Dells or Baraboo, do not miss ICF. Amazing restoration of native prairie by dedicated NGO with all crane species live and present, and info on their world wide work.

Like any zoo, it is about repopulation, in the long run. Its a really neat place.

Interesting and nicely layouted trails.

Great place to learn about cranes in Wisconsin , Canada and Louisiana

Only place in the world with every species of Crane. Support them with a short visit on a Twin Cities/Trip. Not to be missed by any true bird lover.

A place you have to go. Did Not know there were so many kinds.

Very nice people
