The Lincoln Park Zoo is smack dab in the middle of Lincoln Park. It's nestled between Lake Michigan and the city. It's also free. But what a lot of people don't know is that the Lincoln Park Zoo is open at 6 am. They advertise that they open at 10am but I've been there as early as 5:30 am and the gates are open. It's probably one of the most unique visits to a zoo you will ever experience (without being a zookeeper). You get the whole place to yourself, there are no screaming children throwing things at the animals and the best part is that most of the animals are out and about.
Cool photo series and neat fact! I knew it was accessible before 10 but didn't realize it was open as early as 5:30am!
