Zoo Tips |
Whether it is your first
visit to the zoo or your weekly visit to see
your favorite animal, these tips will make
your day more fun at Brookfield Zoo!
- The zoo is open every day of the year.
Plan to visit often, and really explore
one part of the zoo on each visit. The
self-tour
suggestions can help.
- In the summer, Zoo
Chats are your best bet! Pet a boa
constrictor, watch aardvarks dig in a
play yard, get nose to beak with an eagle,
and tons more when you catch a Zoo Chat.
Beginning Memorial Day, our zookeepers
and crew will be out and about talking
with guests---and sometimes they will
even bring creatures along! And you can
check it all out for FREE. There is no
charge to join in a Zoo Chat, so check
the schedule to plan your day.
- The animals are most active, and the
crowds are smaller, early in the morning
and later in the afternoon.
- Save on your zoo visit and become
a member of the Brookfield Zoo. Or,
join the zoo's Parents
Program and help share the care of
the animals.
- Looking for some solitude? Fall and
winter are less crowded than summer and
spring, and the animals tend to be more
curious about visitors when it is quiet
and there are fewer people inside the
buildings.
- School
field trips are popular in April and
May. If you're coming with a school group,
plan your school's trip earlier in the
year to avoid crowds.
- Check out the tips
for taking photographs of animals,
exhibits, and grounds.
- The zoo is a great place to get exercise.
Take your daily or weekly walk around
the zoo's 216 acres rather than around
the block or the track at your gym.
- Remember that all of the zoo's animals
are wild. Please don not feed any of the
animals, or chase any of the naturally
roaming animals such as peacocks, geese,
thirteen-lined ground squirrels, and other
creatures you'll see at the zoo.
- Keep an eye out for roving naturalists
and docents, who are dressed in safari
gear or bright yellow shirts. They often
have "touch stations" and other
things to look at and are always happy
to share interesting information about
the animals. Consider
becoming a volunteer and share your
own interest with others!
- Watch for local animals, especially
at Salt
Creek Wilderness. See if you can spot
any animals that live in your neighborhood
or local forest preserve.
- Look out overhead! Watch for migrating
birds in the fall and spring. Large flocks
of cranes and other bird species fly over
the Chicago area each season.
- See if you can identify some of the
different behaviors the animals do--like
grooming, courting, and scent-marking.
- Look at different animals and think
about how they are adapted to their environments.
Interpretive signs in many of the exhibits
will help you learn what to look for.
- Bring binoculars so you can see animals
REALLY close up.
- Take some time to smell the flowers!
Plants and flowers abound indoors and
outside. Many of the trees and plants
are labeled and some would make appropriate
additions to a local garden.
- Please recycle your soda cans, plastic
silverware, maps, and other items. Recycling
containers are available at the North
and South Gates and at other locations
throughout the zoo.
- For the safety of animals and guests,
bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, and
skates are not allowed inside the zoo.
- Check at the entrances when you arrive
for announcements about new zoo babies
and other special
events.
- If you visit with young children, pick
a storybook or movie (like The Lion King
or Winnie the Pooh) and see if you can
visit all of the animals featured in the
story.
