The zoo exhibits include large cats, gorillas, polar bears, penguins, turtles, monkeys, and other groups of about 1,100 animals of around 200 species. Lincoln Park Zoo affords free entry. Two pairs of swans arrive at Lincoln Park—a gift from New York's Central Park. The birds mark the beginning of Chicago's free zoo.

LINCOLN PARK ZOO REVIEWS
Beautiful place!!!! A great place for a long walk while enjoying the animals! Right when you walk in, you will see the wolves! Beautiful scenery and an amazing place to take the kids!!! Free all year but get there early to find parking outside or you can pay for parking in their parking lot. The best time to go is in the morning because all of the animals are out and simply a great place to take the family!
One of my favorite places to take my son. There are so many fantastic areas to explore at Cal Academy and it incredibly exciting for kids and adults to explore. I love the rotating exhibits to keep it fresh, as well as all of the mainstays - Aquarium, rainforest, penguins, planetarium, living roof. Love being a member here!
Such a great zoo! Great experience every time, lots of walking which is great.

FIELD MUSEUM REVIEWS
One of the best and most interesting museums that I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. This place is massive and the collection is huge! You could easily spend a whole day here looking at the collection. There's something here for everyone and if you're a history lover this place is heaven! I can't speak highly enough of this museum and it's a must-see for anyone in Chicago and for anyone that wants to know more about human history.
Loved the place. Must visit place in Chicago. The field museum has some great pieces of history and a lot of stuff related to dinosaurs. It's really amazing experience to see each of these pieces from history. The place is taking covid precautions and has a nice food court. Surprisingly, the food was delicious which usually not the case in in-house food courts. The staff in the food court was nice.
Highly recommended to visitors coming to Chicago! My favorite parts are the dinosaurs and the ancient Americas. Sue (the T-Rex) is a must-see. The ancient Americas area provides a very detailed view of the history and also a very good collection that other museums might be difficult to catch up with. Also, the Egyptian part is also pretty interesting. We came here twice already but still felt that we haven’t finished everything.

The Shedd Aquarium was opened on May 30, 1930. Retail mogul John G. Shedd, a protégé of nearby Field Museum founder Marshall Field, gave it to the city of Chicago as a gift. It was the first inland aquarium to maintain a permanent saltwater collection. It has now surpassed the Field Museum as the most visited cultural institution in Chicago. In 1971, Shedd Aquarium constructed a 90,000-gallon exhibit replicating a Caribbean coral reef, bringing the total number of fish and species to almost 25,000. Shedd Aquarium has garnered numerous accolades, including the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' award for "best exhibit" for Seahorse Symphony. With 5 million gallons of water, Shedd Aquarium was once the world's largest indoor aquarium. Its custom-made railroad car was called Nautilus and was responsible for transporting fish and seawater until 1959.

SHEDD AQUARIUM REVIEWS
I liked all the weird animals they have there, I could stay a whole day at the aquarium. Everything is very clean, they describe very well each fish and there is also a big aquarium on the center with amazing and different species.
This place was very neat! I took my cousin here for his birthday and we enjoyed ourselves very much! There were so many different types of fish to see, they had penguins out and putting on a show for everyone. Also, we went to the 4-D experience here and it felt like we were in the middle of the action! If you’re looking for something fun to do in downtown Chicago I’d highly recommend this place.
We had a great time!! My friend had sprained her ankle so she couldn’t walk, but the info desk was able to give us a really nice wheelchair to use while we were there. Everything was very accessible-ramps, elevators, lots of room. And the fish were amazing!! Especially loved the underwater beauty stuff and all the jellyfish. And we last minute did the creature show and it was so fun!! A great experience w the wheelchair seats!
