Field Trips
Brookfield Zoo is a great location for your class field trip! Free admission is available to Illinois Public School Groups for self-guided field trips (parking and attraction fees still apply), but advance notice is needed. Fear not, we are now offering quick and easy online field trip registration for all school groups.
Make your reservations early—space is limited. For spring trips, please make your reservations two months in advance. For all other seasons, please make your reservations at least two to three weeks in advance. No reservations will be accepted less than two weeks before your requested field-trip date.
