Bring the family for the spectacular ZooLights at the Lincoln Park Zoo November 25-27 and all weekends in December, and stay at the nearby and affordable Chicago Lake Shore Hotel!
ZooLights at the Lincoln Park Zoo is a Chicago favorite! There will be photo ops with Santa Claus, free crafts for kids, educational chats about the animals at the zoo, 3D displays, luscious spiced wine and Christmas lagers (not for the kids!), loads of holiday snacks, gift shopping opportunities, ice sculptures being created, ice skating, carousel and train rides, and musical light shows!
Special Events: Nov. 25, Flipping on the Lights, an amazing light display which fills an entire block; Nov. 29, holiday shopping featuring the work of over thirty artisans; Dec. 1, Craft Brews; Dec. 7, Adults Night, with beers and watching the animals; Dec. 15, Musical Tribute to “A Charlie Brown Christmas;” and a New Year’s Eve party for all ages!
All of the above, plus the family gets to spend time at the unique Lincoln Park Zoo!
