• 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.
