Zoo Tours: Historic Kovler Lion House | Lincoln Park Zoo

EPISODE 122
It's been a few years, and I believe we are long overdue for a tour at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I can't think of a better way to reintroduce you to this historic park than to show you its newest project! The Pepper Family Wildlife Center😬, formerly known as the Kovler Lion House, has been standing since 1912. While obviously changes were made to the exhibit over the years, in fall of 2021, the Lion House was once again brought into the modern world. The structure remained, but no longer are the 40 year old grottoes, and cramped indoor displays. A $41 million face-lift replaced them with a more contemporary, one of a kind lion savanna. The cats have double the space, it's far more educational, food ziplines go across the yard, and you can now get closer to the lions like you never could before. Oh yeah and how could I forget... This new development also came with Pilipili, the first lion cub born at Lincoln Park in 20 years!
