Why You’ll Love It

The Lincoln Park Zoo has been an iconic part of Chicago since it opened in 1868. Its dedication to connecting guests with nature continues to this day by offering free, yes, free admission to all visitors. 


The zoo houses over 200 animals, including adorable pygmy hippos, roaring African lions, endangered black eastern rhinos, and brightly colored Chilean flamingos. Their dedication to conservation and animal welfare means that every animal receives the best care possible and that each animal's quality of life is constantly reevaluated and improved through environmental enrichment, positive reinforcement training, and individually tailored diets. 


Educational, affordable, and compassionate, The Lincoln Park Zoo has it all.
