As Christmas approaches, Chicago has lit up the entire city—from the continuous Christmas lights along the “Magnificent Mile” to festive window displays in stores—filling the city with holiday cheer. Christmas is one of the most vibrant holidays in Chicago, with a host of limited-time festive events waiting for visitors to explore.
Lincoln Park Zoo Festival of Lights
The annual, free-entry Lincoln Park Zoo Festival of Lights is undoubtedly one of the most popular holiday and New Year events in the area. Throughout the zoo, the Christmas season transforms the park into a neon wonderland. From now until January 6, 2019, visitors can see large animal ice sculptures, take photos with Santa Claus, or go outdoor ice skating at the zoo.
On certain special days, you can even have dinner with Santa or ride a roller coaster through the small forest and canyon within the zoo. Yoga sessions in the zoo are also a possibility. Check the schedule for special event dates here:
