Lincoln Park Zoo

Lincoln Park Zoo

       zoo located in the city of Chicago, Illinois, U.S. It is noted for its excellent collection of great apes living together in family groups and its successful gorilla breeding program. Established in 1868, Lincoln Park Zoo is among the oldest zoos in the United States. Its marine collection was transferred to the Shedd Aquarium in 1930. The zoo underwent an extensive modernization program in the second half of the 20th century. The 35-acre (14-hectare) park is operated by the Lincoln Park Zoological Society and is partially supported by the Chicago Park District. It houses more than 1,200 specimens of some 230 species of animals. Major strengths of its collection are the cats and South American primates. The Farm-in-the-Zoo (first opened in 1964) showcases animals and activities of a Midwestern farm. There is also a children's zoo, and the park operates a traveling zoo program. Lincoln Park Zoo is notable as one of the few remaining zoos with free admission.
