If you wantt o get away from the noise and craziness of the city, go to the FREE Zoo! It is really nice! The gardens are spectacular and the walks are wonderful to stroll through. We went during the week so it was not crowded at all. The sealions are fun to watch. They have bleachers to see them. I had been there years ago and it is a million times better now. A lot of new things to see. The penguins are always fun to watch and the great ape house is a favorite. The snacks are expensive so bring your own.

My husband and I go to the zoo on a regular basis. It is a nice and quiet getaway from the city. It is nice free activity. Do not miss the African Exhibit you get up close and personal with meerkats, Graffias, Pygmy Hippo and more. It is just a great little zoo and I would recommend it to anyone.

Loved the zoo. Shady, so good to go on a hot day. Amazing that it's free.

The Lincoln Park Zoo is a great place for a family outing. It is fairly large so you can easily spend the day there. There is a park outside the zoo and places inside the zoo that you can sit and have a picnic. There's lots to see and do at this zoo. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Some animals have inside and outside habitats. The zoo keepers leave notes that tell the visitors where the animals will be. These notes also tell visitors any important information about an animal (i.e. surgeries, illness, etc.).

I did enjoy the Lincoln Park Zoo, especially since it was free. It was a nice way to spend a few hours without having to spend a dime.
