This barn is part of the Farm-in-the Zoo at Chicago's Lincoln Park.
The site's website (visit link) informs us:

"The Farm-in-the-Zoo gives Chicago kids a chance to experience a bit of the country in the city.
Visitors can take part in seasonal gardening demonstrations, see cows, chickens, pigs and ponies, greet the goats in the goat contact yard and enjoy interactive learning stations in the Main Barn.
Farm-in-the-Zoo Highlights
The Main Barn is filled with interactive exhibits for guests of all ages. A kid-sized chicken coop and theater offer young visitors a chance to exercise their imaginations. Sorting tables and a vegetable harvest promote hands-on activities. Similarly, a busy beehive and newly hatched chicks encourage vital first connections with nature.

The Dairy Barn houses goats and cows, where visitors can learn about the milking process. At the heart of the Farm, the seasonal Edible Garden invites kids to experience hands-on lessons on the origins of food."
