Holiday Magic At Brookfield Zoo In Illinois Will Make You Feel Like You’re In The North Pole

‘Tis the season for some festive fun with a trip to the North Pole, or at least to a place that will make you feel like you’re there! Holiday Magic at Brookfield Zoo will transport you to an enchanting land filled with twinkling lights, larger-than-life sculptures, trees all decked out with holiday cheer, and much, much more.

This is the 39th year for Brookfield Zoo's Holiday Magic. It is the largest and longest-running event of its kind in the area.

Santa Claus has been unusually busy and we won't be able to see him at Brookfield Zoo this year. Instead, there is a life-sized cutout of the jolly old elf to take photos next to.
