Brookfield Zoo Chicago believes everyone, from “cradle to gray,” should experience wildlife and nature. We know spending time in and with nature is essential for physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development and well-being. Our nationally recognized, award winning educators recognize our responsibility to provide one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunities that encourage STEAM learning by connecting guests and communities with wildlife and nature. Brookfield Zoo Chicago recognizes we are just one part of a great metropolitan ecosystem, and it is our responsibility to ensure we help this ecosystem flourish.
