Brookfield Zoo Chicago unveiled its ambitious Next Century Plan on Tuesday, aiming to transform over 100 acres of the zoo for the benefit of both wildlife and visitors.
As it approaches its centennial anniversary in 2034, the zoo plans to blend its historic structures with new animal zones to create immersive habitats that offer exceptional animal care and rich experiences for guests. These efforts aim to engage and connect broader audiences to conservation.
5 acres for elephants, rhinos, lions, giraffes and other species. It will also link together four distinct ecoregions: South African Forests, African Savannah, East African Forests and Central African Forests. This flexibility will be enabled by the new Savannah Passage, a half-mile-long, multi-species transfer corridor allowing for rotational habitat expansion and variety.
