go wild at the Lincoln Park Zoo

If you think the only wild animals in the city are on Division and Rush Streets after dark, think again. The wildest and wooliest creatures from all over the world can be found at the popular Lincoln Park Zoo. This urban oasis lets you get nose-to-nose with gorillas and watch a playful meerkat mob. You can also check out African lions, snow monkeys, sea lions, leopards, Bactrian camels and Grevy's zebras. And if animals aren't enough, daily activities make the zoo the perfect destination for visitors of all ages. So if you like your wildlife encounters during daylight hours, get thee to the Lincoln Park Zoo Chicago.

What animals can I see at the Lincoln Park Zoo?
You will find one of the most diverse collections of exotic animals in this urban oasis. Lions, gorillas, rhinoceroses, monkeys and sloths are just a few of the mammals you will discover. Birds of international feathers flock together in the aviary exhibits. Reptiles from the Amazon to Africa slither and slide (behind glass, of course!). A cool collection of amphibians including Oriental Fire-Bellied Toads and Dyeing Poison Arrow Frogs offer a glimpse into a totally surreal world. And there are new arrivals, too. Baby snow monkeys, Japanese macaques and tiny sloths are just a few of the youngest critters you can find.
