Getting There

The Lincoln Park Zoo is located near the world-famous Lake Shore Drive, just minutes from Downtown Chicago, so it is easy to get to using public transportation or private car. Those taking CTA buses should get on bus #151 or 156, both of which offer service to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Using the local tram system's Brown or Purple lines you can get off at the Armitage station, which is just a short walk away from the zoo. Parking is available, but it is not cheap, so the best option is to use public transport.
