Lincoln Park Zoo




We’ll see you at Story Time!

Story Time at Lincoln Park Zoo’s Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere delights young audiences with silly songs and tall tales every Monday and Wednesday at 9:15 and 10 a.m.

On Mondays, Prof. Boonie illuminates minds with his wild stories. On Wednesdays, Mr. Singer performs his original songs while the wee ones dance and sing along.

Story Time, targeted to children six and younger, employs engaging techniques to teach about the alphabet, numbers, colors and animals. The 30-minute sessions run through January 12, 2011. We hope to see you there.
