Lincoln Park Zoo is a world-class zoo located within Lincoln Park in Chicago, Illinois. The zoo is home to more than 1,100 animals from around the world, including reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and birds.
Established in 1868 as a free museum of natural history, the zoo has undergone significant transformations over the years to become one of the premier zoos in the United States. The zoo's commitment to providing a safe and healthy environment for its animals is evident through its participation in breeding programs and conservation efforts.
Visitors can explore various exhibits, including the Hamill Family Play Area, the Reptile House, and the Helen Brach Primate House. The zoo also offers a variety of educational programs and activities for children and adults alike.
One of the notable features of Lincoln Park Zoo is its unique architecture. The zoo's historic buildings have been beautifully restored to their original grandeur, offering a glimpse into the past while providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for visitors.
The zoo has also made significant strides in sustainability efforts. In 2008, it became one of only two zoos in the world to be certified by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) as a "Green Zoo."
