One of the brightest parts of Chicago’s winter—ZooLights—returns in late November.  ZooLights is free and open to all. Join us for ice carving demonstrations, visits with Santa, warm drinks, cool crafts and more than one million beautiful lights. Come early for your chance at free parking or park in the lot behind the zoo.

Make ZooLights Even Warmer This Year

Lincoln Park Zoo is partnering with One Warm Coat to help the less fortunate this winter season. Coat-donation stations will be at Regenstein African Journey, Regenstein Center for African Apes and the lower level of Park Place Café day and night throughout ZooLights (Nov. 26–Jan. 2). If you have unused coats, bring them along on your zoo visit and make the season warmer for people in need.
