A good place to spend the day! Take the time to meet with animals you don't normally see. Watch out for those gorilla's, they have good aim.
Pros: entertaining

I love this zoo! There is a new Butterfly Exhibit that is incredible. The animals in the African Safari section are penned in such a way that you feel like they are within reach if you just stretch your hand out.
Pros: Butterfly Exhibit, Good Natural Habitats
Cons: Kids prices too high, Parking price to high

I always enjoy this zoo. Even though it cost money to get in, and some special exhibts/shows cost extra. Tired from walking? Take the Zoo trolley all around the zoo(more $$).
Cons: additional fees

If you are visiting Chicago or live in Chicago then Brookfield Zoo is a must! It is a wonderful way to spend a day. The animals are on display and look rather pleased to be there. On a sunny day there isn't a better place to be then wandering around this zoo and enjoying the "positive" atmosphere the staff have created. Bring your family, friends or a date there is something for everyone.
Pros: Fun, Friendly, Educational
