Of course you can not expect the same quality as in a Zoo where you must pay for the entrance, but they come pretty close. Pro: good explanations about the anumals, certainly for kids, Con: many animals are housed in cages......

Watching the polar bear swim was incredible and we were able to get some amazing photos. The rhino also put on a good show the day we were there. Tip: don't stand too close to the exhibit of the rhino if he is close to the fence and has to relieve himself!

This zoo is completely free! It was beautiful to walk through during the month of October, not too chilly and not hot. Overall the zoo was very clean and staff were friendly.

Nice area to see the views of the city. The animals were amazing that you would see in a bigger zoo. Best of all it's FREE. Great place for families and kids, lots to do in the area.

Hard to believe the zoo is free and easy to get to. Set in the beautiful Lincoln Park and close to Lake Michigan.
