dbpedia-owl:abstract	Brookfield Zoo ist ein Zoo, der im Vorort von Chicago, Brookfield liegt. Der Zoo nimmt eine Fläche von 57,4 Hektar ein. Der Tierbestand umfasst 424 Tiere in über 280 Arten. Der Zoo öffnete am 1. Juli 1934 seine Tore und gewann schnell internationale Anerkennung, weil er anstelle vieler Gitter großzügige Schluchten und Wassergräben verwendete, um die Tiere von den Besuchern zu trennen. Der Zoo war auch der erste in Amerika, der Große Pandas zur Schau stellte, von denen ein Exemplar präpariert und an das Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago abgegeben wurde. 1960 errichtete der Zoo das erste völlig überdachte Delfinarium der Vereinigten Staaten, und in den achtziger Jahren die erste Regenwaldhalle. Im Gegensatz zum städtischen Lincoln Zoo in Chicago wird der Brookfield Zoo überwiegend privat finanziert und versucht deutlicher, den Besuchern ein besonderes Erlebnis anzubieten. Insbesondere die zahlreichen attraktiven Erläuterungen zu den gezeigten Tieren sind vorbildlich. Das Affenhaus ist sicherlich weltweit einmalig. Besucher aus dem Ausland sollten den Zoo von Chicago aus nicht ohne eigenes Fahrzeug besuchen, da die Anbindung an den öffentlichen Nahverkehr sehr schlecht ist.

The zoo was also the first in America to exhibit giant pandas, one of which has been taxidermied and put on display in Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History. In 1960, Brookfield Zoo built the nation's first fully indoor dolphin exhibit, and in the 1980s the zoo introduced Tropic World, the first fully indoor rain forest simulation and the then-largest indoor zoo exhibit in the world. The Brookfield Zoo is owned by the Cook County Forest Preserve District and managed by the Chicago Zoological Society. The Society sponsors numerous research and conservation efforts globally.
