Three different groups can be seen climbing trees, burrowing in the mulch and interacting with fellow apes in natural indoor and outdoor habitats. Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo Go for a walk in the woods in a children’s zoo unlike any other in the world. Visitors of all ages can observe red wolves, black bears, river otters and beavers in woodsy outdoor set- tings, then come inside to see smaller animals like snakes and insects. And the Treetop Canopy Climbing Adventure invites pint-sized climbers to ascend into the heavens. Regenstein African Journey Experience the sights and sounds of Africa. Dwarf crocodiles and pygmy hippos swim in rain forest pools while meerkats and masked lovebirds play in a dry-thorn forest. Towering giraffes amble outside near warthogs and wild dogs. Farm-in-the-Zoo Presented by John Deere Kids (and kids at heart) can experience the country life without leaving the city. Learn about the origins of the foods we eat, greet the goats in the contact yard, climb aboard a tractor in the Main Barn and visit with cows, sheep, chickens, pigs and ponies. This year, the Sustainable Crop Gardens are blooming like never before…and we need your green thumbs. Join us for hands-on gardening seminars, weeding sessions, com- post-making and harvesting produce to cook in the Farmhouse.
