Brookfield Zoo
is located at First Avenue between Ogden
Avenue and 31st Street in Brookfield,
Illinois, just 14 miles west of downtown
Chicago. There are exits to First Avenue
from the Eisenhower Expressway
(I-290) and from the Stevenson Expressway
(I-55). Signs on First Avenue will direct
you to the zoo's main entrance and zoo
parking—or
you can just follow the lion's roar.
