Lincoln Park Zoo

"Such a fun free experience. My first time going to a zoo and I had so much fun. It’s well maintained the lion and glorilla enclosures were so spacious. Very family friendly and the staffs were very attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming. There’s a photo booth by the entrance if you want a fun souvenir I believe it was $6 or $7. 11/10 would recommend checking out this zoo."

"We were in Chicago for a week and when we travel we always visit a zoo if there is one. The admission is free which is amazing. The setting is park like and you have views of the city skyline. There are a ton of animals that are well cared for and the park is very clean and well maintained. If you are in Chicago make this zoo one of your stops."

"We attended Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo last night and it is amazing! It was cold but there are several indoor displays where everyone can warm up. The lights are creatively displayed and even surprising in their beauty and sparkle. The grandkids were mesmerized with the lights and the animals. We got hot chocolate and popcorn which was perfect for the occasion and our mood. I highly recommend Zoo Lights for a wonderful, holiday adventure!"

"Second visit to the Zoo, first time in winter and aimed at the Zoo Lights. Enjoyable. Multiple lighting attractions beginning from the entrance. The light tunnel, light lounge, Zooltide, Ferris wheel and the Christmas tree (indoors) being main attraction. Got a nice city view too"

"A gorgeous oasis in the city. Went, this time, for their holiday Christmas lights and they were truly spectacular. The line to get seemed massive (because it was), but it moved very quickly. Despite its length, we still got in within ten minutes. It moved fast. Inside, the lights were beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice. So, at that time of year, make it a point to go if you can. Otherwise, this is a wonderful place any time of year."
