Suggestions for Zoo near Lincoln Park, Chicago

Diana C. • August 2, 2013So pretty. I haven't been there in years and it was much fun and the gardens are beautiful. Got lucky with street parking and packed a lunch. A fun day w the kids without $. Now that's fantastic

Terrass M. • July 8, 2015I love this park. Trails, beach, zoo, and great food close by

Hannah • December 31, 2013Really great exhibits to see big cats up close!! Plus the zoo is free! Great stop! :)

Jonathan F. • May 28, 2015Pretty small compared to the main zoo across the bridge, but it's perfect if you have small kids. You get all the sights, sounds, and smells of a farm.

FJ B. • December 30, 2015Two words - baby gorillas!

Thomas N. • August 10, 2018Still upset about the lack of space that the animals have to roam.

Andrew W. • January 4, 2015The Reptiles are pretty neat

JB A. • December 24, 2017The new cove is amazing - lets you get right up to the glass and see the penguins dive past you! Ideal for visiting with kids and slightly shaded.

Susa D. • November 17, 2016You'd never guess how big it is when you look at the entrance. Really worth a visit!

Jake S. • September 4, 2012Great space to enjoy the floral side of nature. Stop by after a zoo visit to show the plants some love too!

Tamika R. • June 25, 2022Decent Parking. Pricey. If your going with a group you can split the cost.

Shannon J. • July 31, 2022Lots of cool birds in here!

Ana R. • March 25, 2018No vayan a zoológicos aunque sea gratis

Terrass M. • July 8, 2015Great place to have a picnic, walk to the zoo, or walk to the lake

Shannon J. • July 31, 2022The seals are very playful

Alex G. • March 25, 2012Have your kids try the indoor tree house. It's insanely fun.

Shannon J. • July 31, 2022The seals and sea lions become very active during enrichment periods.

Jonathan F. • September 25, 2015The home of my favorite weird Chicago fountain. I'm talking about the one in the center. The garden is very beautiful and complements the adjacent conservatory and zoo.

Shannon J. • July 31, 2022If you don’t see the flamingos they may be in the nearby indoor enclosure.

Vergie T. • July 16, 2011Get here early save money/find parking

Eric H. • July 15, 2013Dear City of Chicago, Your free zoo is great, but the food options are conspicuously mired in the 1950s. Seriously, Chicago?

Shannon J. • July 31, 2022Black bears are native to Illinois.

Jeff B. • December 19, 2014Great zoo, but could use more Christmas lights

Emily E. • July 6, 2013Go for the salad bar. Burgers are great too. It's a little cramped but fun atmosphere. Great place to go before or after zoo

venessa t. • November 17, 2011Look for ducklings in the spring. The path by the pond is tranquil and relaxing, especially if you've been bumping elbows at the zoo or nature museum.

Kevin M. • August 21, 2018LEY does it again w this great restaurant. After visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo, I love to sit at the bar, enjoy beverages & seafood. Or when scheduled- reserve your spot for Jammies & Jersies brunch!

Anamaria H. • August 31, 2014Only place in the zoo to see lemurs.

Paul G. • August 28, 2014Lovely spot for lunch near the zoo. Friendly service and the food all looked lovely. Tasty quesadillas and flatbread.
