My Kind of Zoo

Historic campaign sets $125 million goal for new exhibits and endowment

We’re used to making a big splash – just ask our seals and polar bears – but there’s never been anything like this: a $125 million philanthropic initiative to more than triple the zoo’s endowment, underwrite spectacular new exhibits and much-needed improvements, support an internationally renowned staff of educators, researchers, and curators, and provide resources for more innovative programs.

It’s My Kind of Zoo, the Campaign for Lincoln Park Zoo, and it will ensure that the zoo remains everyone’s kind of zoo – free, open, and amazing, 365 days a year.
