Its pretty cool to see those monkies swinging around. I even got to get this small statue.

For numerous reasons, the primate exhibition at Brookfield is FAR superior! When I visited back in summer 2014, I recall feeling a deep sadness because the apes were basically imprisoned. I am far from some bleeding-heart vegan card-carrying animal activist. While I have the utmost respect for vegetarians, at least philosophically, I have too much craving for steak (or burgers, ribs, sausage, chops, bacon, poultry, fresh seafood... YUM! ...but I digress). That said, I do genuinely care for the well-being of animals. I am not insinuating that the animals are improperly cared for, but I find it inhumane to corral creatures as intelligent as apes in a prison with transparent walls, where they spend their days in overcrowded conditions for obnoxious kids to run up to windows. The tour guide was informative and she displayed a positive attitude, but I would prefer a faithfully attempted duplication of their wild habitat for primates to frolic or relax in over a cell where tourists could gawk at these magnificent animals in a painfully obvious state of captivity. Tropic World at Brookfield is much better because you wont see apes or monkeys in jail. (Also, it LOOKS superior visually and obviously took a lot more work to construct and to maintain than this one.)

What a gem Chicago has with the Lincoln park zoo. The primate house is a fave, though I wish the gibbons had more room to braciate.

Great place to visit. Very well designed.

Cool exhibits featuring many New world primates, gibbons, and lemurs. Has a gorilla Mold-a-rama and photo booth.

I liked it

Excellent and interesting. Always free

Surprise galore
