林肯公园动物园

如果将这个植物园放到中国某大城市，光是它的花园就足以成为一个值得一看的公园。但对于芝加哥这样具有花园风情的城市来说，一个只有较好植被而动物稀缺的动物园实在不值得推荐。动物被关在窄小的笼子里，参观视角晦暗，品种稀少，并且看起来十分沮丧——大概免费的动物园，她们吃得不太好？总之看到这些可怜的动物会让人心里有疙瘩。动物园里有餐厅，提供PIZAA和墨西哥食物；有商店，有一个品种比较齐全的动物纪念品商店，里面有很多动物公仔。还有…偶尔路边艺人的音乐会让微凉时的动物园有很悠扬的气氛。

我非常喜欢林肯公园动物园,还是免费的呢,很适合来散步打发时间,况且还不要门票!

这是美国最后的免费城市动物园之一,林肯公园动物园是个很省钱的全家观光之地。热衷于动物园的人会觉得这里既不大又普通,但用几个小时来逛逛也不错。北极熊、熊、猫科动物和灵长类动物很吸引人。除此之外其它的给人印象就没那么深刻了。在晴朗的周末这里一定人满为患,但在平时工作日感觉一定很不错就好似整个公园动物园都是你个人的一样。周末停车也是个问题。我们劳动节去的,最后还是花了100块钱的停车费停到了很远的地方。因为动物园是免费的,100块钱也不算多。但周末去的话我还是建议乘公共交通工具。如果你选在工作日,附近还会找得到车位。

这个动物园不大,但是安排的非常好,而且总是在翻新。这里最有名的是其大猩猩养育计划,但是所有的在展览都是一流的。唯一不好的是游客不能直接从快线到达这里。如果你是假期去芝加哥,别错过圣诞节灯展示,很漂亮。而且还可以在不同的时候去看看动物们——我们去的时候,一只母猩猩正在给自己和小宝宝弄床,铺上毯子,还在躺下的时候给她喂奶。

我们每个人花了2美元(14元)从马瑞娜城坐22路车来到这里。我们首先在温室逗留了一会儿,那里真的非常美,装修也很漂亮。其中一个部分正在装修,还没有对公众开放,但当我们告诉其中一个工作人员我们是从城外来的时候,她允许我们进去浏览一下和拍照......真是太好了!然后我们去了鸟类、动物和鱼类区。那里有很多孩子,看起来他们真的很喜欢那地方。那里有个旋转木马,看起来很受孩子们欢迎。地面很干净,花也非常漂亮。那里有很多吃东西的地方。动物园这么漂亮让我们很吃惊,因为那是少有的可以免费进入的动物园之一,孩子们可以在那里看到很多不同的动物。你也可以从我们的照片里看到,这趟旅行我们也感到非常愉快。

2008年8月8日,我们在林肯公园结婚啦!等牧师来的时候,我们去参观了北极熊。有多少人能说邀请动物园参加婚礼了?O(∩_∩)O!

Growing up in Chicago, I always enjoyed trips to Lincoln Park Zoo. Today I brought my grandson here for a visit. It's just as wonderful as it was when I was a child. The animals are displayed beautifully, gorillas, lions, lots of "zoo" babies! The facility is clean, easy to walk through, train for small children, great farm area. This was a day when the winter weather was gone, 60 degrees, so many families out and enjoying the day, (3/15/15). Challenge parking, but we found a spot. Location is north side right off the lake front, perfect!

Pretty astounding, especially for a free zoo. Grab some hot chocolate and head there in December and enjoy the elaborate Christmas lights.

Wonderful day out! This park is completely free. The staff are unbelievably friendly and ever so willing to explain anything you wish to know. I was enthralled at The Sealion Park. The keepers there explained the daily procedures and diets. The Monkey House was amazing. The apes/monkeys have a natural environmental and are trained to use COMPUTERS! One is able to remember up to a 12 sequence. The shop had extensive stock at reasonable prices. I was totally amazed that the whole zoo experience was FREE!

While it is no Columbus Zoo, it has a wide range of animals and the habitats that the animals are living in are quite nice. There is some construction going on so I am looking forward to going back once it is complete to see what they are putting in place. This is a great place to wander, chat and view the amazing animals. What a relaxing afternoon!!! Don’t miss the Conservatory! The plants were amazing. If you have kids, they will have fun looking for and counting the miniature dinosaurs located throughout. There is food that you can purchase and plenty of place to sit and eat. Bathrooms are located all over the zoo.

This is a favorite for the locals. There is no admission fee and you can buy food here or pack a picknic lunch. There are animals from all over the world and this is perfect for a leisurly strole or family fun. St.John 3:16

Visited for the first time last week. Incredible variety of animals and very kid friendly. And best of all, free!

We were very impressed with this zoo. Considering that this zoo is a free zoo you would think that the quality of the facility would be compromised but that is definitely NOT the case here. This zoo is top notch! The animals were all very healthy and well cared for. Their enclosures were all clean and well maintained. The park grounds were very clean and appropriately designed. They are in mid-upgrade of a couple of sections right now and that is soo encouraging to see that it has plans to continue to grow.

Obviously coming from NY, i have visited the Bronx Zoo. It is about $35 per person there so when i heard that the Lincoln Park Zoo was free i didn't have high expectations. Well i was wrong. It was beautiful and had not only animals everyone wants to see like Tigers, Giraffes and Gorillas, but it also had animals i had never heard of and/or seen. We took the bus from the Loop for $2.50 and spent about 4 hours seeing everything the zoo had to offer. The seals were so friendly and photogenic and the Tiger was prancing in the snow. The food cafe served beer and pretty decent food. **No free refills on any beverage**If i lived in Chicago i would love running around this zoo as i saw many people doing. I am not sure if it is allowed but there were even people walking their dogs in the park.... Loved:The animal selectionThe cafe and prices were reasonableHated:They advertised new animal that got there in 2013 and coming soon summer of 2016- yet missed advertising the birth of a baby gorilla the week prior. (annoyed me their concept of time) but that's just being picky.

This Zoo promotes conservation and relies on donations - free entrance. The zoo is built around a walking track that leads from Lincoln Park Conservatory into Michigan Avenue and the famous DuSable drawbridge
