Compared to the other zoo in the Chicagoland area, (Brookfield) the Lincoln Park Zoo is much smaller. In places it also seems older and quaint, but thanks to some newly renovated and updated facilities I really enjoyed my recent visits to the LP Zoo. The ape exhibits provide close-up access to the animals in a clean and bright space. The monkey house as well lets you observe the animals very well. Underwater viewing of the polar bears is always interesting. Some of the buildings, like the big cats house, are noticeably smaller than one might hope. But overall the animals seem well cared for despite the obvious lack of space that plagues the entire zoo. Best of all it's free to get in (as I remember). Parking is expensive, however. Also- I recommend stopping by some evening around the holidays when they have the lights up. ...read more
