About this guide

Lincoln Park Tickets is an independent guide to Lincoln Park in Chicago: what is free, what needs a ticket, and the tours that show you the park. We are not Lincoln Park Zoo, the Chicago Park District, the Lincoln Park Conservancy, a museum, a tour operator or GetYourGuide.

Facts on this site are checked against official sources (Lincoln Park Zoo, the Lincoln Park Conservancy, the Chicago History Museum, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum) and the live GetYourGuide listings. Opening hours and rules change; when an official page or a listing and this site disagree, the official page or listing wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you that the park and the zoo are free and that you do not need a tour to enjoy them. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
