SUAMICO (NBC 26) — Father's Day in Northeast Wisconsin was hot and sunny this year.

Many places offered deals and special events to give dads a fun third Sunday in June.

In Suamico, for instance, the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park let dads in for free.

Dads, grandpas, and their loved ones flocked to the venue to check out the animals.

Scott Philemon came with his granddaughter Evelyn Luna Raye. They had a lot of energy and excitement about all they planned to see in the day.

Evelyn said she most looked forward to the monkeys, as the two made their way through the long (but quickly-moving) line for entry.

Inside the park, penguins, peacocks, porcupines, and other animals greeted the visitors, as they also took in the hot sunny day.

Michelle and Dan Uttecht came to the zoo and said they liked the bears and the lions best of all.
