I had the idea of visiting Lincoln Park zoo on Saturday. Kate has brought us to Brookfield Zoo several times, but Evelyn and Jameson have never been to Lincoln Park. Kate and I remembered it had somewhat of a sad reputation, but we were so surprised! The exhibits were really nice, lots of the animals were very active, and the grounds were beautiful.
The zoo also isn’t huge so you can easily see everything. I chose not to take lots of pictures of the animals, but Jameson was excited to see the rhino and the camels. The polar bear was so fun to watch; we saw him in two different viewing locations. I think my favorite was the gorillas. They were very active, but also almost interactive. They were up close to the glass of their indoor viewing area and as you watch them you can’t help but think that they too are thinking about something. The lion exhibit was super cool too with great outside and inside views.
After the zoo we headed back to the apartment for lunch, then it was time for swimming at the neighborhood pool. Luckily we missed the rain. Evelyn and Jameson played some Mario kart before we walked to dinner. After dinner it was time for dessert. A trip to Pretty Cool for popsicles was high on everyone’s Chicago list.
