The zoo is free and is in the nice Lincoln Park area. Great views nearby and it is at a relatively convenient location with respect to the main attractions downtown. It is a little over an hour of leisurely walk from the Millennium station. The zoo is not large so there are not many animals to been with. I was able to see some animals but a few were not available. I did not check out the farm, train, food options or the gift shop, so no comment on those.
Small zoo with it's own charm! I think it's one of the few zoos in the US that has free admission and they do accept donations from visitors. It's a nice place to just walk around and see animals although there were a few areas where I didn't see animals in them. There are also rides for kids and food available in the main court. It's not the biggest zoo you can be in but it's definitely worth the time to see what they have; and the best part about it is that it's free.
I was shocked this is free entertainment. Our local zoo is a $25 per person which is fine to help out the animals but it is quite nice that this zoo is able to keep it free. Go NOW if you haven’t seen the baby lion. One of the cutest things I have seen!! It is a smaller zoo but had a perfect variety of animals. I really enjoyed visiting.
Wow were we impressed! When we heard “free zoo” we thought the grounds might be run down and there wouldn’t be many animals, we were so wrong! The grounds are kept very nicely and we saw SO many of the animals out considering it was a chilly day. Highly recommend this zoo if you’re visiting from elsewhere. I’ve been to many zoos in the U.S. and this is definitely at the top of my list now!
Fantastic. Will go again. Clean. There are a lot of places to use facilities all around Zoo. Lot's of Great experiences. Can get very close to the animals. Free to get into can leave a donation in a box, if you like for all ages. A great way to spend a day if not too warm!. Food & drink a wee bit more expensive, but you can bring your own, there are places to sit with tables. 151 as of 24/06/2022 bus stops right outside. Have Fun.
I took my son on his first trip to the zoo and he had a blast. Due t his age, he rode in a stroller. The entire place was very easy to navigate and my son was able to get good views of the animals. Given the time of year, there was a fair amount of grounds and exhibit maintenance happening. Although disappointed we couldn't see everything, it's great to see that the city is doing a great job to keep the facilities looking good.
I was surprised to see that there is no entree fee for the zoo, it is completely free. Not very big zoo, but nice, well maintained. Have nice collections of animals. Close to downtown and well connected via bus. Which is really good news for people coming from outside.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
The zoo is free, and it's a pretty decent size! There are a lot of animals and exhibits to look at! The animals are also super cute and very active. I do recommend visiting during the spring/summer as the weather is a lot nicer and there are more open exhibits and kiosks that sell food and merchandise. It's super easy to get to the zoo through bus, and very walkable. I truly recommend visiting this zoo!
Checked out Zoo Lights this year! Very fun and light-hearted event. Good for children and adults…family friendly and solid date night. Snacks, hot cocoa, and spiced wine my favorite are just brief intro to what you nibble on or sip. See the animals, ride the carousel, take lots of pictures, enjoy!!! This year it’s free on Mondays Check out Eventbrite to secure in advance and carousel rides are $4 a person.
This zoo is probably my favorite zoo I’ve visited yet and definitely the best free zoo I’ve ever been too! They do a great job at packing in a diverse collection of animals while making sure they have the appropriate space. Admission is free. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the animals and the zoo itself. The reptile house is very well done; as is the primate house.
