Story

Founded in 1868, Lincoln Park Zoo is dedicated to connecting people with nature through a free, family-oriented wildlife experience in the heart of Chicago and by advancing the highest quality of animal care, education, science, and conservation.

As populations increase, it’s crucial to find ways for people and wildlife to thrive together. This is a charge Lincoln Park Zoo is ready to lead. We’re at the forefront of studying how people and nature clash and coexist, and teaching visitors of all backgrounds how nature must be integrated in our lives for healthy, happy futures for people and animals alike.

Our vision: Inspire communities to create environments where wildlife will thrive in our urbanizing world.

We're free and open 365 days a year! More information at http://www.lpzoo.org.

Considering the access to this zoo is completely free I was absolutely astounded by what was on show - we walked up town from the Mile on a whim and decided to visit the zoo just for a short time but we were drawn in and and ended up spending a few hours here. If you are in Chicago for any reason I would heartily recommend a visit to this zoo, whether you have children or not, it's a fantastic collection they have and the scenery of the surrounding park really sets it aside from any zoo I have visited before. My personal favourite was the big cat house - such incredible animals and you can really get a close up view of them. My only comment would be to visit on a day with good weather as we toured on a rainy day so most of the animals were only in the indoor sections of their enclosures. Also, special mention for the polar bear!

It's free, great for kids, the whole atmosphere of Lincoln Park is nice in the summer. It's open year round, though. There are stores and food places nearby. Quick access on the bus or a small walk from the train. Parking is limited due to no parking lot and a crowded neighborhood... Good probably have to walk a bit after finding a park. I've been going for years.

Really great zoo, can't believe it was free! We went on a warmish winter day, you could still see plenty of animals and they were being very active. The primate house is great, cool lions and other big cats too. Friendly staff, and good food options in neighbourhood nearby. Very impressed, a good activity to do in Chicago!

This is a great zoo to visit when you visit chicago or any day when you don't have anything to do. The area itself (Lincoln Park) is amazing! You can walk and enjoy nature within the city with stunning city views from all angles of Lincoln Park. The beat thing about Lincoln Park Zoo is that it's free! Parking as well they have their own parking lot which you can pay or you can try to find FREE street parking I your own at the back of the zoo which is very convenient it leads you to were all the farm animals are. They have a lot of animals that are usually out. You can her the lion ROAR all thought the zoo and they just remodeled a lot of the zoo mainly where the polar bears and seals are. They also have the Lincoln Park Christmas Lights during the holidays which makes your experience even better.

If you can find a parking spot away from the lot you're doing yourself a great service. Zoo is free, parking lot is not. This is a fantastic to do to wander around and enjoy all of the animals. It's a very clean. There are cool climbing areas for the kids. And coming in the summer time for concerts is a treat. Fun place to gather and watch. Brew at the zoo is a younger crowd but good time! There is always something to do at the zoo!
