If you’re thinking – not another zoo, just hold on – this Chicago Lincoln Park Zoo is worth mentioning for a number of reasons. It’s public and therefore free, being part of the larger lovely Lincoln Park, it’s one of the oldest zoos in the nation, and it’s a very pleasant zoo to walk through. It’s a real jewel.
So if you’re already in the area then you might also want to check out the nearby part, nature museum and the history museum to combine this into a nice family day.
So, on to the mandatory animal photos…
If you’re in need of a small map and opening hours…
Chicago’s a really charming city and it makes perfect sense that they would have this kind of lovely public zoo. Enjoy your visit.
