ZooLights at Lincoln Park Zoo

About this happenin

Lincoln Park Zoo, at 2001 N. Clark Street, stays open after dark from late November into early January for ZooLights, its holiday light show. The zoo counts more than three million lights and hundreds of LED displays, with a light tunnel to walk through. A Ferris wheel and the Endangered Species Carousel are among the rides, which cost extra. Hot cocoa and mulled wine are on sale, and the fire pits are there for s'mores. Ice carvers work on Friday and Saturday nights. On the South Lawn a narrated light show plays, and some animal buildings open for self-guided tours. Fixed Date tickets cost less bought ahead than on the day, and most Monday nights are free with a reservation. It goes ahead in rain or snow. Outside food and drink are not allowed, and parking is limited and paid.
