Zoolights Is Back During The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year At Lincoln Park Zoo In Illinois

Zoolights has returned to Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo this year and it is filled with holiday magic. This festive family tradition features seasonal activities, hundreds of 3-D displays, and millions of lights throughout the zoo. Tickets are only $5 each and proceeds will support wildlife and conservation efforts.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate
