Lincoln Park Zoo

Such a fun free experience. My first time going to a zoo and I had so much fun. It’s well maintained the lion and glorilla enclosures were so spacious. Very family friendly and the staffs were very attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming. There’s a photo booth by the entrance if you want a fun souvenir I believe it was $6 or $7. 11/10 would recommend checking out this zoo.

The zoo is located in the heart of Chicago, offering a wonderful mix of outdoor exploration and family-friendly fun. While some of the animals were moved to indoor habitats for the season, we still had a memorable time. Visiting Lincoln Park Zoo in winter was a special experience. While the animal variety may change with the season, the zoo’s charm and commitment to educating visitors about wildlife remained unchanged. It was a fantastic family outing, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting during the colder months, just be sure to check which animals will be available for viewing!

I think it's a great place to spend some time, even though I know it's a fairly small zoo, it's very comprehensive. Best of all, it's free! Although I went during the cold season, there were plenty of animals on display and several places to warm up. I'll go back in the summer because I imagine it must be even better.

Absolutely fantastic zoo around 10 minutes cab ride from the magnificent mile. Free admission and hundreds of wonderful animals from across the globe. Spotlessly clean. Fantastic coffee and gift shop. Highly recommended,

We attended Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo last night and it is amazing! It was cold but there are several indoor displays where everyone can warm up. The lights are creatively displayed and even surprising in their beauty and sparkle. The grandkids were mesmerized with the lights and the animals. We got hot chocolate and popcorn which was perfect for the occasion and our mood. I highly recommend Zoo Lights for a wonderful, holiday adventure!
