Believe it or not a lot of zoos charge an admission fee for you to come and look at the beautiful animals. I'm happy that Lincoln Park Zoo is always free admission, something that is especially appreciated in today's climate of financial instability.
Sometimes it's not feasible to pack up a family of 5 or 6 and make a trip to the zoo because when you add up the cost to get in, plus food and drinks and souvenirs, that can end up being a very expensive family outing. Well, I'm happy to let you know that Lincoln Park Zoo will remain free for the next 30 plus years. That's right, the City of Chicago will allow the zoo to remain free until 2050!
So grab the fam and make it a trip for this weekend, or whenever your schedule permits. No rush, you've got plenty of time to enjoy the zoo for free.
