Like 21 dollars for a quesadilla, 3 small enchiladas (which are foul tasting, by the way) and a large drink (that isn't refillable). The quesadilla was delicious, but the enchiladas smelled and tasted really bad. A bit pricey, but I suppose if you're giving to the zoo it's not all bad, as it's a great zoo.

  • Wilson Torres

Park Place Cafe is an okay eatery inside the Lincoln park zoo, they have three choices on the menu, and they are Gorilla, Italian and Mexican. The food is decent and the price is high. But I guess since you don't pay to enter the Zoo then they got to make it up somewhere.

  • Grace Lee

glad to stumbled upon this food court within the Lincoln park zoo. They got multiple food options. We had nuggets and hot dog for quick lunch. good taste, quick service, reasonable price and lots of seats. need no worry if you're gonna spend a couple of hours here. More

  • Maeve Charles

Food is good, made fresh to order, and portions are decent sized. Be ready to shell out a minimum of $10 per person, not including beverages. They do have a good variety, ranging from Mexican and Italian to turkey sandwiches and burgers.

  • Joe Seidel

We went for the Christmas lights. The parking situation and overall traffic was pretty rough, but we were able to find parking. Just be patient. The light displays were good and many of them animal themed, there was a person doing ice

  • Alexa Garcia

It's expensive but I guess it's good for the animals. I only got a drink for like 6 dollars so I didn't get to taste the food but the seating area was pretty clean. Do keep in mind there's dozens of kids everywhere just screaming. More

We went to the Lincoln park and saw this cafe place . We went in and ordered vegetarian food for us from Mexican market . It was so good . We have ordered platter( Tacos) that have rice- beans on the side and have ordered fries .

  • Amy MacDonald

Slow service for Italian section on a slow day in April. Worst pizza I’ve ever had. Breadsticks only tolerable because of marinara sauce. &25 for 2 pizza slices, 2 small drinks and 4 breadsticks. Best part of meal was the Pepsi.

  • isaac murray

it's zoo food, and it's super pricey. the zoo is small so i recommend getting stuff to eat either before or after visiting as it will be cheaper and much higher quality than eating here More

  • Francis L

Food court in Lincoln Park. Just street food quality. As expected in such places, somewhat overpriced. But of course, a good place to refresh oneself after some hours in the park. More

Cafe/food court in the Lincoln Park zoo. Multiple cuisine options and a decent selection of vegetarian options. Overall reasonably priced and quick service. More

  • Hans Hong

During summer and fall months they really need to have some wasp and yellow jacket control on the patio. Food is alright, just limited fast food options.

  • G V D

As one of the last free zoos in the U S there is lot to do outside of visiting the animals. Also the farm at the zoo is a good learning experience.

  • Elif Asar

It's a food court with limited options. Overpriced but patio was nice. Great place to freshen up after walking for a long time in the zoo. More

  • Michelle Galvan

Expensive but will pay the price for a good meal hotdogs nachos cheeseburger and hot chocolate are great also staff is vary helpful and nice

  • Robert Szabo

Perfectly fine food, good selection, service. Yes, it's museum priced but not outrageous, profits go to the zoo which is as it should be

  • Amanda Steve

Good food, cafeteria style. Seating can be hard to find sometimes. The Panini was much better than the salad and pasta.

  • Doug Jodts

Ok food for a zoo. Nothing to get excited about but not bad either. It's a great zoo, especially considering it's free.

Goods good but prices are ouch... Spent 85+ on the 4 kids food and drinks....but they enjoyed it so good for me. More

  • Sally Diana

The food was expensive and the pops was $3.50 which is pricey, but I guess since the zoo is free it's worth it. More
