Lincoln Park Zoo

Visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo is a fun way to spend the afternoon and a great way to visit one of Chicago’s most beautiful neighborhoods, Lincoln Park! An added bonus, it’s free - Lincoln Park Zoo is one of the only free admission zoos in the country. (Although we do recommend making a donation!) Our first apartment was across the street from the zoo at The Belden Stratford! There is a great French restaurant in the lobby, Mon Ami Gabi, if you’re looking for dinner in the neighborhood.
