Plan to spend the day and enjoy all the zoo has to offer. Don’t miss the Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo, with all of the outdoor and indoor interactive activities. The jungle gym will keep brothers, sisters and maybe even mom and dad busy. There’s the Kovler Sea Lion pool, where you can be at eye-level with those fascinating and fast moving creatures. The Kovler Lion House boasts an intercontinental cat line-up. The Flamingo Habitat, the Hope B. McCormick Swan Pond, the Helen Brach Primate House, the Antelope and Zebra Area and the Regenstein Birds of Prey Exhibit also delight.
