Description:
|
LINCOLN PARK. An ape house, a birdhouse, and a working model of a five-acre midwestern farm are just a few examples of what makes this zoo special. Founded in 1868 and known as America's oldest free public zoo, the Lincoln Park Zoo still manages to charge no admission and remains open year-round. Set on scenic park grounds with lush lawns and pleasant walkways, the zoo greets visitors with the beauty of Georgian Revival buildings and a spectacular greenhouse. Prominent zoo residents include elephants, giraffes, sea lions, gorillas, reptiles, and an endangered Siberian tiger. |

| | Arrived late in the day so time was limited. We were able to see the baby gorilla which made the unexpected trip to the zoo well worth the price of parking. The zoo is beautiful keep up the great job! |
