Lincoln Park Zoo Scavenger Hunt

The Lincoln Park Zoo was born in 1868, when four swans were gifted to the city by New York’s Central Park. It has since grown to a 35-acre complex with 200 species from around the world. In addition to the menagerie of more than 1,100 animals, the zoo has programs devoted to conservation, protection and education. Every December, ZooLights brings thousands of visitors to see the zoo at night festively decorated for the holiday season. And it’s all just a few miles north of downtown Chicago! There are eight objectives in our scavenger hunt, encompassing the entire grounds of the zoo, which includes the Nature Boardwalk and Farm-in-the-Zoo. Some of the objectives involve taking a photo, so be sure to share those and any other pictures you take at the zoo to social media using the hashtag #LPZooScavHunt. And don't forget to tag us at @playeATLAS! The zoo is open 365 days a year, from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 7 PM on holidays. There is no charge for admission except during Zoo Lights on select days in November and December when the Hunt cannot be executed after 4:30 pm.
