The Brookfield Zoo is teaching visitors about nature and animals with the help of Chicago's favorite sports teams.
On specific weekends throughout the summer, different sports teams will be highlighted at the zoo as part of the "Real Fan Days" series. This weekend, Chicago Cubs fans will get to celebrate their team at the zoo.
Fans at the zoo will learn all about Boston Ivy, which is the kind that grows in the outfield at Wrigley Field. They'll also get to meet a polar bear named 'Hudson', who was born as a CUB and learn about the conservation challenges polar bears are facing.
There are lots more free Chicago Cubs themed events! Here are just a few of them:
-Meet Cubs players Milt Pappas, Tony Campana and Randy Wells
-Be a sports broadcaster and announce plays at the broadcast "karaoke" booth
-Ride the Cubs-themed trolley
-Sign a giant 13-foot baseball
-Make your own "W" flag
-Try out your batting skills in an inflatable batting cage
-Test your pitching speed and accuracy
Check out some of the photos from the "Real Fan Days" that have already taken place, highlighting the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Bears.
In the coming months, the zoo will highlight the Chicago Fire, White Sox, Blackhawks and Wolves!
