Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park is home to the Lincoln Park Zoo. This free zoo is not only one of the country's oldest zoos housing 1,200 animals representing 230 species, but it also is home to a conservatory and a carousel. Lions, giraffes, rhinos, tigers, camel, penguins, zebras & apes make regular appearances. Children (and parents) will enjoy the children's zoo and farm which teaches the little ones to learn how a farm works. The piglets and goats delight all age groups. Hop on a paddle boat and take a stroll through the scenic pond with the Lake Michigan breeze and Chicago's stunning skyline as a backdrop. Activities throughout the year make this a popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
