So much more than a fun day awaits you and the family at Lincoln Park Zoo. Treat yourself and loved ones to the thrill of seeing all the animals, who are waiting to entertain you, and win you over at the zoo.
We all know the view of the Chicago skyline is absolutely beautiful – imagine what it would be like to visit a zoo against the skyline of Chicago as backdrop? And the good news is that the Lincoln Park zoo of Chicago is absolutely free of charge! The kids will completely immerse themselves in visiting all the near-perfect natural environments created for them at this Chicago bus tour attraction. Although Lincoln Park zoo of Chicago is quite small compared to other zoos in the country, but it’s very complete and it’s free.
At this bus tour stop, the kids will get to see all kinds of animals, from common ones to endangered ones to exotic ones! Apparently, the greenhouse with rain forest, savannah and desert at the Lincoln Park zoo costs the government 12 million dollars…and a bus tour stop there will show you that it was money well-spent. It is placed under a 45-foot high glass dome which will make everyone (kids and adults alike) very excited. When you make a Chicago bus tour stop at this top Chicago attraction, don’t miss the chance to visit the ‘Farm In The Zoo’ which is a section of the zoo built especially for the kids! The kids will get to pet the goats and other small tame animals there. Listen to their shrill laughter! Learn about daily life on a farm (a very new and unique experience for the kids) and also learn about how plants are grown at this excellent Chicago bus tour attraction.
Although this zoo is comparatively smaller than other zoos, it can get pretty tiring exploring all the exhibits here. So, once you’re done exploring the zoo, you can get some lunch or dinner at a café they have within the premises, the Park Place Café. The Gorilla Grill offers excellent food choice as well. If you have a bus tour holiday in Chicago during the Christmas season, they have an ice sculpting display and caroling as well! Very enjoyable.
