During the cold winter months the Lincoln Park Zoo is still open and it just may be the best time to come and see the small animals in the heated Education Center. Watch the African spurred tortoise wander around this desert area as well as the bearded dragons leaping from their heat rock to the windowsill. You can observe the honey bees gathered together to keep warm eating the honey that they have stored away from all their hard work this past summer. Education Center hours are from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
