Join us for the wildest breakfast you'll ever eat!

Enjoy a delicious meal in the main hall of Regenstein Center for African Apes while Lincoln Park Zoo's Curator of Primates Sue Margulis, Ph.D. discusses the fascinating lives of our chimpanzees and gorillas.

After breakfast, view our great apes as they explore their exhibits first thing in the morning (their most active time of day). Margulis will answer questions and explain the animal behavior you’re witnessing.
