One of the latest free zoos in the United States and one of the oldest, Lincoln Park Zoo hosts the most diverse animals. Nestled between Lincoln Park and Lake Shore Drive, in a green ocean, away from noise, it attracts crowds, which come to admire hundreds of animals grouped by category in several pavilions. White bears can be observed in their basin through a glass pane; or admire the extravagant colours of the. Walking through the big aisles while giving to the hundreds of squirrels who climb from everywhere, it is not uncommon to hear the roar of the tigers or lions bathed in the sun. Seals and penguins strive to look for freshness in their pond, while antelopes and zebras shelter in the corners of their enclosure. The most recent attraction of the zoo is the Regenstein Center for African Epas, where there are impressive chimpanzees and gorillas. This zoo is also a research and study centre on great apes for students from Chicago universities and researchers, as part of the wildlife protection programs.

At the heart of the zoo, a farm as found in the grasslands of Wisconsin has been installed. Children can reach the animals or participate in the milking of cows.

Don't miss Nature Boardwalk, south of the park, a planted promenade with superb views of the skyline of Chicago.

Zoo très sympathique, agréable, et surtout gratuit. Belle balade assurée, le parc est très grand. J'ai eu la chance d'y aller un jour ensoleillé, c'était une bonne détente. Il comprend l'espace, la ferme du zoo, qui comprend des vaches, porcs, très gros lapins, poussins naissants...
Profiter pour parcourir le old Chicago et Lincoln park et pour profiter du point de vue sur Chicago.

Zoo situé en retrait de la ville, dans le Lincoln Park, proche de la plage. Bien qu'il ne soit pas grand, on peut y découvrir des animaux de différentes régions du globe. L'entrée est gratuite.
C'est un endroit calme et agréable.

Beau zoo bien entretenu à l'écart du centre ville mais dans un magnifique quartier très calme près du Lincoln park et même de la plage. De plus l'entrée est gratuite mais attention aux horaires de fermeture à 17h en plein été. On peut y aller en vélo par des pistes cyclables très agréables.

Absolument génial. En retrait du centre ville, donc au calme. Beaucoup d'animaux dans des enclos adaptés. On peut revenir à pied vers la ville en passant dans le superbe Old Town Triangle. A côté, ne pas manquer l'Alfred Caldwell Lilly Pool, havre de paix, et le Lincoln Park Conservatory. A voir aussi, le Lincoln Park en lui-même.
