Laura Krill: "Please respect what the Lincoln Park Zoo has done to create this space, and what they continue to do, to preserve, protect, and promote nature...Keep your dogs on leash; this is NOT a dog park!"
jiresell: "The best meal of my life! Don't skimp, get the full tasting menu in the gallery. If you want the back story on Chef Grant Achatz on Netflix Chef's Table."
Stephanie Lichtenstein: "The steak frites with merlot butter is the way to go I normally get filet mignon but their steak is very flavorful and juicy definitely try the Merlot butter so good and their mashed potatoes were too"
Lana Bolortuya: "Always BYOB! Definitely try the Tipsy Trixie and Southern Gals! I also love the OH My God roll! Their sashimi is always fresh and the size is pretty generous!"
Lucille Fisher: "One of the best farmer's markets in the country. Great selections of local produce, meat, artisanal cheese&bread, organic dairy products etc. Don't miss the cooking demos. Here we caught Rick Bayless."
Claire Watkiss: "Such a fun and artsy place to visit. Super close to the zoo as well. Very humid inside but totally worth it. It is bigger on the inside than you would think! So many cool plants and flowers to see!!!"
AFAR Media: "Remains one of the hidden gems of the Windy City. It has been referred to as a botanical goldmine, and is equally entertaining for adults and children alike. This place is indeed one wicked garden."
Patrick Jebber: "This is a great zoo, not only because it's free and open to the public 365 days a year, but it doubles as a beautiful park where you can get away from the city and enjoy a change of scenery. A++"
Wolfgang Baermann: "Zoo is always fun and nice! We had a good time, got a hand-print painting done. On summer time though, be aware of the rather early closing hour, Sunday @ 17:00! Rather early when the days are so long"
Kurt Uhlir: "Pick a volleyball court, walk up, introduce yourself and ask to join a game. Great way to meet new friends. Tip: courts 1/2 mile north of the boathouse are generally more open to people of all levels."
Kevin M. McNally, CMP: "All year round this is fun. It renews UR soul. Especially summah time w outdoor activities like volleyball, a good run or cycling. Great people watching at Castaways. Wiggle your toes-create memories!"
