Have family 3 miles to the North and then my work is either out of my home or on North Michigan Ave. The parks and the zoo are fun, plus some great nightlife.

We love ZOOLights during the winter. During the summer its a fab and free outting to go alone, with friends, family, and children. Highly recommend a trip at both peaks of the year. The pond is open again for boat rides! More

Before going to the Lincoln Park Zoo I thought ok so here's a free zoo what all can it have to offer. This Zoo has almost all the animals one would see in a Zoo where you pay and is plenty big. I would recommend going to this Zoo with anyone. More

Lincoln Park is a great little location for shopping, eating, and dining. If you find yourself here, you have to go to a small frozen yogurt place called BerryMoon. It is so delicious! I never knew frozen yogurt could taste so good :) More
