It's true.....we heart the Lincoln Park Zoo! How can you not...it's free, it's in the middle of a beautiful city park surrounded by picnicking families, paddle boaters, frolicking dogs, sandy beaches along Lake Michigan, and much more! I mean seriously, where else can you relax with your favorite playful gorilla buddies, roaming giraffes, posing seals, wandering grizzly bears, smelly yet adorable penguins, and lazy lions and lionesses? You can visit all of these friends while at the same time eating a delicious popsicle (or popcorn, cotton candy, peanuts, whatever) and working on your summer tan (or burn, in my case).
As the pictures above show, the gift shop can prove to be as much fun as the zoo itself. Who would have known that one would have the opportunity to kiss a penguin, get licked by a lizard and a seal, play "hear no, see no, speak no evil" with monkeys, or be transformed into an elephant and a tucan? Anything can happen at the zoo.....it's true!
So, if you ever find yourself bored on a regular old Sunday afternoon get out of your pj's and take a trip to the zoo. That's what we do!
