Our response to the Covid 19 Pandemic has been to maintain a level of fluidity. As a result, we have tied our activities to the phase of reopening as outlined by the State of Illinois.
We are currently able to conduct programs, weddings, rentals, and photo permits. There is some limitation on numbers and capacity, but these activities can continue. However, you must book all appointments ahead of time, and you must pre-register for all programs. Please call our main number at 708-361-1873 to register or make an appointment.
Please enjoy our Grounds, however:
Please continue to socially distance, and wear a mask. Please remember to pick up any litter, do not feed the animals, and do not bring balloons on site.
Thank you for your patience; please check our social media and website for programs and event information.
