Don’t miss the Regenstein Center for African Apes—a popular habitat showcasing cheeky chimpanzees and majestic gorillas.

        Great zoo for Chicago.Its free all year round which is fabulous.They add to it to keep it interesting.Only things are there are only 1 animal in most enclosures. Which is sad.Concessions are well run and there are many child activities throughout the year for
        Members.

        Last year I went and saw a great place; this is amazing .This zoo park is the one of the best attraction. I love walking through zoo and seeing all of all the animals. It is a great place to take children and adults, and it is free. They have a great number of exhibits, and provide a very pleasant walking experience.

        Lincoln Park Zoo is one of the best attractions in and around the city. They have a great variety of animals and provide a very pleasant walking experience. The best thing is it has got a free entry. We always enjoy going here.Best place for children to enjoy their weekend.

        Zoo Lights - I love going to this because it reminds me of childhood memories of my mom taking my little brother and I around the city to look at Christmas light displays

        The last remaining free zoo in the country. Now since its located in the Lincon Park its not as big as most zoos can be, Dont let that fool you, it is still a world class zoo filled with interesting houses, and fitting enclosures. They are working every year to update buildings and enclsures that dont suit the animals best, so they are always improving themselves.
