Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo

Information boards posted all around the walkways with useful info and the viewing telescope now being free. Lots of turtles sunbathing too! Just try not to feed the animals please.

Great family fun!

Many complain that spending a day in the city is so expensive, but there are so many enjoyable things to do that are free! This is certainly one of them. Lovely place to walk around and enjoy the views (both natural and cityscape). It's right near the zoo, which is also free. The honeycomb structure is an awesome photoshoot spot, so make sure to take advantage of that!

This was a secret but now it seems like everyone knows about it. Darn shame cuz now its ruined (I hope not). Still great!

An Urban Oasis in the Concrete Jungle.

Take the half mile hike around the nature Boardwalk which is connected to the Lincoln Park Zoo.

Take the Less Traveled fork to the right to go around the pond when coming from the south, as most people go left to go straight into Lincoln Park Zoo

On a relaxing walk down the boardwalk around the pond, you will see some of the plants and wildlife native to Illinois.

Look down in the water and you will see egrets, turtles, as well as fish.

The vegetation is Lush and in some places currently taller than 8 ft.

This is a great place to take a leisurely stroll, meet up with some friends, enjoy nature, or see the Fantastic Chicago skyline.

Take time to stop and read the plaques around the pond it will give you some good insight into the care and thought that was put into this gorgeous location.

A place to relax, unwind and enjoy the day.
