About this event
ZooLights is Lincoln Park Zoo's holiday celebration, billed as the city's favorite holiday tradition, with more than 3 million lights and hundreds of nostalgic LED displays spread across the zoo. Walk through the light tunnel, ride the Ferris wheel for a view of the glittering grounds against the Chicago skyline, and warm up with hot chocolate, a fresh churro or s'mores at a fire pit. Select nights add roaming carolers and ice carvers turning blocks of ice into sculptures on the spot.
Our take: A Flexible Admission ticket works on any date, a good hedge against sellouts and bad weather.
