Welcome to the Lincoln Park Zoo web site, and get ready for a wild ride.

Learn about Frank, a member of our world-renowned gorilla collection - and a terrific father. Find out why Micronesian kingfishers can no longer be found on the island of Guam, and what we're doing to help these birds. Meet our Siberian tigers and snow leopards, who make their home in the Kovler Lion House.

If you are planning your vacation, weekend or holiday, be sure to click on our special events listing, which includes Friday night concerts at the zoo and ZooLights Festival, our dazzling winter holiday celebration. Discover the wide range of educational opportunities available to children, adults, and teachers through our school programs and ZooAdventure workshops. Or just find out what special activities the zoo has in store for casual visitors.

We are striving to make Lincoln Park Zoo's web site a resource for all kinds of users. Check back regularly to find out more in-depth information about our collection and the zoo's conservation activities, here and around the world.

After you take your cyberspace tour of our zoo, come on out and get up close and personal with our animal ambassadors-in-residence. They'd love to see you, and so would we.

Sincerely,

Kevin Bell
Zoo Director
