Also known as Chicago Zoological Park, Brookfield Zoo is a delightful animal paradise deep in the Chicago suburbs. Brace yourself for a full day of zoological fun at Brookfield Zoo, where over four hundred animal species live. Hop onto a safari tram and take a tour of the vast open spaces where animals eat, sleep, and play unbarred by cages and fences – from the gorgeous big cats to local icons like the bald eagle and American bison.

For budding zookeepers and curious souls, Brookfield Zoo offers you the rare chance to go behind-the-scenes and see the zoo from a different angle. This is where you will get an up-close look at the displayed and backstage animals, where you will get to feed and interact with animals apart from the typical giraffe or bird. As a zoo of many firsts, Brookfield Zoo is home to the nation’s first indoor dolphin exhibit where these sleek mammals will enthral you with stunning aerial displays, as well as the world’s first indoor rainforest simulation where you will meet cheeky primates scampering from branch to branch. Step into the exciting sphere of nature’s microcosm at Brookfield Zoo, where fun with animals awaits.
