I also have a three-wheeled racing chair. I would like to donate these items and I want to make sure they will be given to someone who could really use these. Do you know where I might be able to donate these? (I am in Chicago), Greg |
Lincoln Park Zoo and Conservatory

 summaryOne great way to spend a winter afternoon is to bring the family to Lincoln Park Zoo. One of the last free zoos left in America, Lincoln Park Zoo is easy to get to by car, and has ample handicapped parking spots right at the entrance of the Zoo. Almost all of the animals can be viewed via a wheelchair up close. However, the Conservatory has steps into many of its rooms where a wheelchair cannot go. Find the Zoo at Fullerton Ave and Lake Shore Drive. Its address is at 2200 North Cannon Drive Chicago, IL 60614. reviewLincoln Park Zoo: The Lincoln Park Conservatory is located adjacent to the Zoo with several greenhouse rooms to choose from. The "pre-ADA" greenhouse cannot be fully viewed because several of the its rooms have steps. Still the warm air of the greenhouse is a great winter blah-buster. During the holidays, a toy train runs through water attractions, and during the month of February check out the lavish Azalea Show. |
