My Kind of Zoo

A Few Words About the Campaign from our Fans

Behind every person who loves Lincoln Park Zoo, there is a story. The stories keep evolving, because the zoo keeps changing—and at each stage, zoo-lovers see things, learn things, and respond to the zoo in new ways.

“Lincoln Park Zoo is a Chicago treasure, and the envy of other cities around the world. For more than a century Chicago families have come here to relax, enjoy themselves, and increase their understanding and appreciation of the animal kingdom. And it doesn’t cost them a cent. Now the zoo is becoming even better, thanks to the generosity of the people of the City of Chicago.”
Mayor Richard M. Daley

“There’s no place else quite like Lincoln Park Zoo; it’s simply one of the best places in the world. Everyone is welcome at the zoo, and people from babies to great-grandparents enjoy themselves and learn from the animals and each other. There is no better place to invest in the future than Lincoln Park Zoo.”

“In just a few acres, Lincoln Park Zoo focuses incredible resources and energies on the urgent mission of animal conservation and provides all of us with the opportunity to grab hold of an enormous amount of knowledge. For our children especially, the zoo can be a wonderful teacher, helping them understand what has happened in the animal world and what they can do to help. We must continue to support the zoo and make it a lifelong commitment.”
