One of the best zoos in the country. Also it's absolutely free admission, thank you Chicago. Tons of animal exhibits from gorillas to lions to bears, etc. Easily spend 5 to 6 hours here next to lake Michigan. Plenty of shade and indoor exhibits as well. Awesome carousel $3 per ride. Great gift shop and good court. Tons of play space, interactive experiences, and things to climb for kids.
