Across the South Pond from all the other exhibits, there is a place that feels like a breath of fresh air. This is the Farm-in-the-Zoo, a place created in 1964 to bring a taste of the countryside to the city. While not a zoo in the traditional sense, it offers a unique space for Chicagoans to get up close and personal with animals like pigs, cows, and horses. Visitors can get hands-on by petting some of them and feeding them treats. You might even see the cows being milked, a daily routine that staff will happily explain. It is a place where city kids can experience a bit of the country while in the city, and it is one of the reasons that the zoo is one of the nation’s most established and cherished.
