Less than five miles from Riverdale is the Gensburg-Markham Prairie Preserve. The reserve features hiking trails and views of the unique natural landscape that was formed by glaciers. A little further up the road is Chicago, home to the Lincoln Park Zoo. The zoo hosts over a million guests per year and houses hundreds of exotic animals. Each day, the Regenstein Small Mammal-Reptile House at the zoo offers a Meet an Animal program. You can also visit the Farm-in-the Zoo for animal interactions. The zoo offers a variety of youth education events such as Zoo Explorers and Conservation Camp. Zoo Explorers is a program of structured learning lasting approximately one hour. The sessions are taught by trained zoo educators, and students are given data sheets as they walk around the zoo to carefully observe the animals. Conservation Camp is a summer day camp for children, which camp offers exploration of the zoo and teaches students about animal diversity, environmental conservation, and how the zookeepers at Lincoln Park Zoo take care of the animals.
