Ever wonder what a black bear cub’s first waddle feels like? Here at the Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo, you can almost experience it yourself. The Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo isn’t just a place to see animals. It’s a place to connect with the wild things in our own backyards. It’s designed to make you think about how these creatures thrive in the wilderness. Inside the Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo, small amphibians and reptiles greet you from their terrariums. A leaf-themed climber, designed by Tom Luckey, beckons the young and young-at-heart. Larger indoor exhibits house birds and reptiles. Giant glass windows provide an underwater view of busy beavers and playful river otters. Educational displays explain the magic of beaver dam construction. Outside the building, native birds nest amongst the trees. The path around the building is surrounded by two larger exhibits. Here you can come face-to-face with an American black bear or the elusive red wolf. Lush foliage and a naturalistic stream create a realistic habitat. These animals can choose to engage with the visitors or retreat into the greenery. Statues of gray wolves and informative signs encourage visitors to practice their howls and learn about the fascinating dynamics of wolf packs. The Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo is a part of the larger Lincoln Park Zoo. Lincoln Park Zoo itself has a rich history, starting with a gift of two swans in 1868. Today, the Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo carries on that tradition of connecting people with wildlife. It provides an immersive experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.
