Zoolights has returned to Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo this year and it is filled with holiday magic. This festive family tradition features seasonal activities, hundreds of 3-D displays, and millions of lights throughout the zoo. Tickets are only $5 each and proceeds will support wildlife and conservation efforts.
The Lincoln Park Zoo has been transformed into a twinkling winter wonderland!

Santa will be here, too! Take socially-distanced photos with Mr. Claus nightly from 4:30 pm - 9:30 pm until December 23rd (he has to get back home to the North Pole to get ready for Christmas package deliveries!).
