Suggestions for Zoo near Edgewater Beach, Chicago

Toria L. • August 27, 2014Awesome zoo! Free & relatively empty today (though the kids are back to school and it's a Tuesday). Don't forget the farm & nearby Conservatory (free as well)!

Christine W. • October 26, 2013Love this zoo. Membership is a must

Paul M. • December 29, 2011Zoo is free today.

Jonathan F. • May 28, 2015Pretty small compared to the main zoo across the bridge, but it's perfect if you have small kids. You get all the sights, sounds, and smells of a farm.

lynn ❄. • August 4, 2013super cute n fun little zoo :). not too much petting though.

Tamika R. • June 25, 2022Decent Parking. Pricey. If your going with a group you can split the cost.

Andrew W. • January 4, 2015Zoos are awesome

Sailor • August 4, 2019I loved this zoo and the fact that it's free but they should consider capping the animals to just the ones they have now, since the animals shouldn't be in such small areas

Twelve O. • June 27, 2011Check out 12 on the Lake: The Pierside Grill, located in Washington Park north of the marina. http://4sq.com/lX6BcN

FJ B. • September 29, 2013I've always liked the lion exhibit. Last time I visited was for the Great Lakes Brew Fest - the zoo is an excellent venue.

Danielle B. • July 3, 2015Cute little petting zoo! Nice, cheap date idea!

Alex C. • August 13, 2015Beautiful, up close, & fragrant! Great to relax & for photographers. Good for children who are not afraid of & are gentle with insects. Stay as long as you like, just stay on the path. Worth it!
