The Pride of Chicago Tribute Wall
The Pride of Chicago Tribute Wall, located in the new Pepper Family Wildlife Center (opening Fall 2021), recognizes contributors to the zoo’s current capital campaign. The wall’s design pays homage to the rich history and architecture of the building, drawing inspiration from the decorative mosaic tiles at the entrance façades. Personalized plaques on natural wood tiles of varying sizes will span the Tribute Wall and reflect your support of The Pride of Chicago campaign.
