Brookfield Zoo (formally Chicago Zoological Park), situated in Brookfield, Illinois – approximately 48km southwest of downtown Chicago – is an internationally-acclaimed zoological park owned and managed by Forest Preserve District of Cook County under management of Chicago Zoological Society. Distinguished for its extensive use of open-air enclosures without barriers or railings, its major exhibits include Fragile Kingdom; an underwater rainforest display which displays various species in their natural environments; Tropic World which presents animals from various tropical climate zones; as well as Field Museum of Natural History.
The Zoo of Greater Indianapolis is an increasingly popular tourist attraction during summer months and local family trips, yet is struggling financially. Recently it asked for state funding to pay for repairs such as leaky roofs and gas leaks as well as failing electrical systems and buckled pavement, trying to convince lawmakers and Governor JB Pritzker of its worthiness as an investment option in an upcoming capital bill.
Brookfield Zoo provides its loyal buyers with discounts through a loyalty program, whether that means discounted products and services, special sales promotions or bonus loyalty points. In order to qualify, buyers must enroll in one of these programs by providing personal data about themselves to Brookfield Zoo.
