Lincoln Park Zoo is helping the Lake County Forest Preserve develop a recovery program for the smooth green snake!

Field-trip season is upon us and we’d like to remind everyone to plan for the increase in visitors and buses using the parking lot. Please note: The lot is congested during bus drop-offs (9–10 a.m.) and pick-ups (noon–2 p.m.). The lot is most congested on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from late March through early June. We encourage guests to use public transportation when visiting the zoo.

Lincoln Park Zoo Summer Conservation Camp has plenty of options for older campers! Learn how fifth–eighth graders can explore “The Web of Wildlife” and “Nature and You.”

Registration for the United Run for the Zoo is now open. While the race is June 6, you can reserve your spot today. Click here to learn more.

Bedtime Buddies at Regenstein Center for African Apes welcomed families to see what the zoo's gorillas and chimpanzees were up to after hours. View a slideshow of the fun!
