Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago, IL – December 2012

Every year, we try to go to the ZooLights at Lincoln Park Zoo as a way of warming up to the Holidays. From Thanksgiving to New Year, the zoo stays open after-hours on certain nights for the public to enjoy holiday music, wild animals, and millions of colorful lights – all for free. If you want to avoid the crowds, go on a really cold evening and you’ll have the place to yourself – even more enjoyable if it’s snowing.
