Not all the animals in Lincoln Park live within the zoo! Join Lincoln Park Zoo's Conservation Ambassadors Board for a morning of exploration and family fun at Nature Boardwalk. Learn about the wild plants and animals that make the city of Chicago their home through choose-your-own-adventure nature play stations. Look for bugs, birds, flowers, and trees, and collect your observations for a chance to win prizes!

Parents will learn how to use iNaturalist to collect sightings and assist with identification of native plants and wildlife. Participants are encouraged to submit photos to iNaturalist to compete for Chicago in the 2025 City Nature Challenge. This event is free and open to all ages. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Check-in will take place close to the entrance of Nature Boardwalk near Cafe Brauer and Farm in the Zoo.
