All in all, a very impressive monument, with a huge bronze statue of Grant at the top (depicted in his General’s Regalia) riding atop his favorite horse “Cincinnati.” It’s a cool spot to check out if you’re walking through the park 👍"

This is a must visit monument if you are visiting Lincoln Park Zoo or the park. Be sure to also visit the Lincoln Memorial located in the southernmost end of Lincoln Park, about a 10 to 15 minute leisurely walk, south from the Grant monument, walking past the Benjamin Franklin monument, and through the tunnel under LaSalle Drive extension."
