Chicagoland’s most dazzling holiday tradition is back and brighter than ever. Holiday Magic® at Brookfield Zoo Chicago returns reimagined for 2025, transforming the zoo into a winter wonderland illuminated by over 3.5 million twinkling lights and the region’s largest display of decorated holiday trees. From November 21 to January 4, guests can stroll through breathtaking new light displays and interactive experiences that bring the season’s sparkle to life like never before.  This year’s Holiday Magic introduces an array of first-time offerings designed to make every visit unforgettable—from roasting s’mores at cozy fire pits and renting private heated igloos to enjoying live carolers and the all-new holiday-themed dolphin show. Families can also look forward to a sensory-friendly night for guests of all abilities, expanded festive food options and countless photo opportunities throughout the illuminated grounds. Tickets are on sale now for select dates, inviting everyone to celebrate the joy, warmth and wonder of the holidays at Brookfield Zoo Chicago.  Holiday Magic tickets and additional information are available now at brookfieldzoo.org/HolidayMagic.
