It's easier and closer to take 151 or 156 bus
Google driving directions to Lincoln Park zoo. Typing in transit routes won't give you directions (unless it's only my phone with this problem) otherwise once you get the directions on your screen simply hit the transit option. It's extremely helpful and will give you transit times and time to destination. I love it.
My wife and I took uber from navy pier and it cost only 7 bucks.
For precise directions use maps or google on your phone
If you are coming from the burbs, you will want to take the Metra first. Then you should connect to the 151, 156, or 22 or 36. Get off at Webster for all of them.
I would go by cta
156 bus because itll take you right to the zoo
Cta or metra wont offer services till zoo park. You need to catch 156
Can i take the south shore
