Washington Park Zoo, Michigan City Zoo
Small but photogenic 15-acre zoo with close-up animal enclosures (tigers, lions, panthers, birds, wolves), public art and a 70-ft observation tower with Lake Michigan and distant Chicago skyline views. Best at golden hour or overcast for even animal lighting. Weekday mornings are quieter. Ample parking nearby; modest admission. Paths loop around exhibits—bring a map shot for route planning. Stairs to tower are steep; accessible routes limited.
