Lincoln Park Zoo


Birds from the tropics, seashores, forests, wetlands and savannas all have room to roost in Lincoln Park Zoo’s McCormick Bird House. Within this historic, brick building (designed in 1904 by the zoo’s first director, Cyrus DeVry) are numerous habitats replicating myriad environments in which birds live. Visitors are invited to view the feathered inhabitants in traditional exhibits or step into the lush, tropical free-flight area to become immersed in a wondrous, winged world.
