About the Farm in the Zoo
Farm in the Zoo, located at 1911 North Stockton Drive in Chicago, Illinois, is a unique tourist attraction that offers a hands-on experience with domestic farm animals. Established in 1964 and renovated in 2002, this zoo features various barns and play-based learning stations where visitors can interact with cows, goats, pigs, and ponies.
The Main Barn is designed for toddlers and young children to engage in open-ended play, while the Livestock Barn and Dairy Barn provide outdoor yards for the animals to roam. Guests can see, hear, and even smell the real farm animals, immersing themselves in the sights and sounds of a working farm.
Farm in the Zoo also boasts two seasonal Edible Gardens, maintained by volunteers and filled with organic plants that benefit local communities. Through partnerships with Green City Market and The Organic Gardener, Ltd., the zoo is able to donate over 2,000 pounds of food to The Love Fridge each year.
While animals may not always be visible to the public, their welfare is a top priority. The zoo ensures that animals have choices and can retreat to areas out of view if desired. By promoting positive animal welfare and environmental awareness, Farm in the Zoo encourages visitors to come together to address global challenges such as climate change and plastic pollution.
For more information, visitors can contact the administration offices at 2001 North Clark Street or call 312-742-2000. Experience the wonders of the natural world at Farm in the Zoo and discover the importance of sustainable living and wildlife conservation.

Reviews of Farm in the Zoo
"place was empty so kids got to play but I will complain about the bathroom specifically in this barn . they were disgusting . They hadn't been cleaned and were not even usable of how dirty they were."
"Was shocked this time. No animals in kids petting zoo only 4 cows. As I walked larger zoo, monkey house only has 3 monkey out of minimum 10 exhibits. Reptiles house had things but alot of animals missing from zoo. Was really sad after me coming every year for over 40 years."
"Went as a chaparon for my Son's class field trip. I know, excuse to take the day off work... Fortunately I have a understanding Boss, and I have a great desire to spend as much time with my son as I can, like the song says... Until you can't!"
"We had a fantastic time. It's very nice for the kids, and free!!! We did however have to park REALLY far away. And paid $19.00 for 3hrs of parking. (So come prepared with parking money, and good walking shoes!) Lmao other than the parking and extraordinary heat we would recommend this place!"
