Phillips Park Zoo

Phillips Park Zoo exhibits native North American wildlife, including river otters, wolves, foxes, eagles, owls, and reptiles within natural-style habitats.

Established in 1915, Phillips Park Zoo began as a small menagerie with local wildlife and expanded its collection throughout the 20th century.

The zoo organizes educational programs for local schools, teaching children about native wildlife conservation and environmental stewardship in Illinois.

The zoo provides free admission, accessible pathways, designated parking spaces, and operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the year.

Every winter, the zoo transforms into a light display featuring illuminated animal sculptures and seasonal decorations during the Festival of Lights.
