Brookfield Zoo is the 'suburban Chicago Zoo.' While Lincoln Park is free, and beautifully located along the lakefront, Brookfield offers a clean environment with lots of parking. Both Zoo's are nice to visit. Chicago is truly lucky to have 2 zoos.
Webmaster- How many zoos are in the state and where are they located? Please update information on this. thanks
