Free and open to all 365 days a year, Lincoln Park Zoo introduces millions of annual guests to the wonders of wildlife. World-class care, global conservation projects and award-winning education programs all reflect the successes of Chicago’s free zoo. We’re proud of these accomplishments, but Lincoln Park Zoo has even bigger plans ahead, setting new standards for our wildlife, our guests and the city we love with the $135 million Pride of Chicago campaign.
The Pride of Chicago campaign is a $135 million effort committed to advancing Lincoln Park Zoo’s reputation as an immersive home for wildlife, an amazing—and free—experience for guests, and a leader in conservation, science and learning.
The Pride of Chicago Campaign is:
Since, 2012 the zoo has raised more than $110 million towards its $135 million goal and received the support of more than 100 individuals. We have opened three new state-of-the-art animal habitats, completed a full makeover of the Main Mall, and built the state-of-the-art Hurvis Family Learning Center.
Take a look at why Lincoln Park Zoo is the Pride of Chicago.
