AAC's Chicago Top 10 List: No. 9 - Lincoln Park Zoo

A favorite spot for the budget conscious individual, Lincoln Park Zoo is a completely free, open to everyone, easy to access city zoo. You might think a free zoo would have little more than a few goats and a peacock; but this one surpasses any expectations. While it is one of the oldest zoos in the country, it is also one of the most modern, with state of the art habitats and top-of-their-field veterinarians and zookeepers. Its design complements yet contrasts the city so that a visit is a bit of an escape; lions, primates, zebras and exotic birds are just a few of the many attractive and thoughtful exhibits. More than anything else, the Lincoln Park Zoo seeks to educate its visitors about conservation, science and animals and use its inhabitants as ambassadors for the voiceless many they represent.

Take Bus #3 from McCormick Place to Randolph and Michigan. Transfer to Bus # 151 which heads straight to the zoo.

What is it about visiting a zoo that brings out the kid in us?
Maybe its the wonder and beauty inspired by its permanent residents.
