Calling all hot chocolate drinkers and ugly holiday sweater wearers: Lincoln Park Zoo’s annual ZooLights Presented by Invesco and ComEd opens Friday, Nov. 20th. This beloved staple of Chicago’s holiday season will delight guests of all ages with festive attractions and more than 3 million lights across zoo grounds. Guests will experience hundreds of nostalgic LED light displays, ethereal elements, and memory-making holiday experiences throughout the zoo. They can take in stunning views of ZooLights from above on the towering Ferris Wheel and walk through the expansive light tunnel on the Main Mall. Visitors will encounter festive photo ops as they wander through the zoo, plus professional ice carvers and roaming Victorian carolers on select nights. The Pepper Family Wildlife Center will transform into the North Pole, hosting visits with Santa alongside the zoo’s holiday tree and festive décor.
