Next Century Plan

Welcome to the future of Brookfield Zoo Chicago — introducing our Next Century Plan.

As we approach our 100th anniversary in 2034, our 15-year plan with a 30-year vision will elevate the Zoo to new heights, blending our rich legacy with innovative advancements.

This is more than a campus plan; with the urgent call to action against biodiversity loss and climate change, our mission extends globally, transforming our campus with dynamic animal habitats, updated facilities, and enhanced educational experiences while making Brookfield Zoo Chicago a beacon of worldwide conservation and education.

I am so excited for the continued evolution of this wonderful zoo! Since my family moved to the area almost two decades ago I've had so many wonderful visits as I've grown up, but I've definitely been eager for some new life in certain aspects and I am confident that Brookfield Zoo Chicago will deliver!!! Thank you for all you do for the animals, conservation, and visitors.

Thank you all for making such a wonderful zoo. I've been going to Brookfield Zoo for decades. I look forward to many more decades of discovery thanks to your efforts!

This looks so exciting for us and also wonderful for the animals! My family are lifelong members!

Lots of the newer "experiences" have been done quite well and I have no doubt that the future expansions will maintain if not exceed my expectations. As a zoo member it is great to know that the future of local conservation (which in turn give rise to a much larger impact) is in the good hands of solid leaders.

I can't believe my daughter is in it on my shoulders looking at a butterfly❤❤❤ proud dad right here. The zoo has been a huge part of her upbringing. She learned to walk in that zoo during the pandemic and now she's 5

How about more experiences for us to interact w/ the animals directly? More species
