Sharing Wellness and Nature (SWAN)

Monday sessions on March 2, 9, 16, & 23

9:30—11 a.m.

$80 Members/$100 Non-members

Sharing Wellness and Nature, or SWAN, is Lincoln Park Zoo’s premium program for adults (18+) who are neurodivergent and their friends or family members.

A small group of guests experience private demonstrations about animal care, meet with zoo experts, socialize together, and participate in mindfulness activities. Each Monday session provides a unique chance to learn about how the zoo cares for animals in a private and supportive environment.

Sessions will involve some travel across zoo grounds and may be held partially outdoors. Seating is provided at demonstrations, but demonstrations may have space restrictions. For this reason, spots in this program are limited.
