LET’S GO TO CHICAGO’S BROOKFIELD ZOO!

[@RobbZipp]

Have you been to this zoo? Let me know!

[@BeWithTamia]

As an Illinois native. This zoo was my childhood. I’ve gone over 5 times and really enjoyed it. Went once with family and the other 4 times were for in school, after school, and summer school programs. Love it!

[@RobbZipp]

I understand. It’s nice to support your local zoo. As a visitor, I didn’t enjoy being nickled and dimed.

[@BeWithTamia]

@@RobbZippI apologize that happened. I’ve only gone as child so I never knew that actual cost. You brought up a lot of points about paying and then not having access to the full zoo. I never knew that so I was shocked and am kind of disappointed that is the type of experience you go to have.

[@RobbZipp]

@@BeWithTamia it’s all ok! I have a playlist of all of the zoos and aquariums on my channel! I hope you check it out and see what other zoos are like!

[@tinafigueroa7556]

Honestly, as you said, this is a 'private' zoo that, yes, you have to pay more for the privilege. Yes, you have to pay for anything extra, like anywhere else. I can't think of anywhere that the extras are free. I've always thought that this zoo was nicer than Lincoln Park Zoo. When I was a kid, I used to make sure I had collected all of them before I left.

[@RobbZipp]

I travel all over and have never had this kind of zoo experience. It simply wasn’t worth it, to me.

[@silverphantomLX]

This is a Zoo you have to get the membership for! They do give you coupons to see the attractions for free if a member. So you end up not paying those attraction membership fees unless you go too many times and run out of coupons. I recommend coming back during spring or summer time, with someone who has a membership so you can really enjoy the place.

[@RobbZipp]

Well, I live in Houston and have a membership here. I travel all over the country and most zoos have a reciprocal program where I can get in free, or half off. Brookfield does not accept that. They seem greedy.

[@silverphantomLX]

@@RobbZipp That cool you get in zoos free or half off! I agree Brookfield Zoo is greedy! Wish we had that kind of zoo membership here in Chicago

[@RobbZipp]

@@silverphantomLX Lincoln Park Zoo is free and just as good! I had a seagull poop on me there, though. hahahah

[@SpaceCityDude]

Thanks for your honest take. Sorry you didn't love your experience there.

[@RobbZipp]

It wasn’t a bad place. Just more expensive than I felt like.

[@bystanderbutch3509]

I used to live in Chicago and have been there several times.

[@RobbZipp]

Cool 😎

[@wackyruss]

OK... I figured out how to log back into my KZbin. NICE ZOO, DUDE!

[@RobbZipp]

Thanks Russell! I hope all is well!!!!

[@MomZipp]

Too bad that it was $29 to get in then all the things cost extra. Beautiful nature settings though and the carousel was pretty. Hope you enjoyed your day

[@RobbZipp]

It was nice to walk around and enjoy nature. I just won’t go back there again.

[@AB-sx9vu]

The land is owned by the forest preserve. Not really a private zoo

[@RobbZipp]

@@AB-sx9vu they kept telling me it was private, that’s why it was so expensive.

[@RobbZipp]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@CChandler1982]

Didn't know you were in Chicago. We live 15 minutes from the Brookfield Zoo.

[@RobbZipp]

That’s cool. I’ll be back on Sunday night. Want to join me? Email me!

[@MasonWright1234]

I’m going to Houston Friday to stay the night with my aunt and going to Bucees and going shopping Saturday for my 22nd birthday

[@RobbZipp]

@@MasonWright1234 have fun! I’m going to the State Fair of Texas in Dallas on Friday!

[@MasonWright1234]

@@RobbZipp you’re seeing the Dallas Cowgirl

[@sharonsimsay7995]

Very nice carousel, looks like the one here in San Diego at Balboa park.30.00 bucks is a bit steep.but if it's private they need to feed the animals .just look at it as you helped the animals

[@MasonWright1234]

Chicago Style Pizza

[@RobbZipp]

I didn’t eat any this time. I do enjoy it, though.

[@AB-vt9xr]

It’s managed by the Chicago Zoological Society and owned by the Illinois forest preserve. 🤦‍♂️ do research before you just talk🤦‍♂️ lazy

[@RobbZipp]

Lame excuses for their greed. Do your research about why I was disappointed by looking at my other zoo videos.

[@tylerbirkla1537]

yeah your being kinda weird about it imo
