ZooLights Presented by Invesco and ComEd December 4, 2026
ZooLights Presented by Invesco and ComEd returns to Lincoln Park Zoo, lighting up the city’s favorite holiday tradition once again! Over 3 million lights and hundreds of nostalgic LED displays transform the zoo into a glowing wonderland, with magical holiday touches around every corner.
Stroll through the light tunnel surrounded by twinkling lights. Climb aboard the Ferris wheel for a ride above the glittering spectacle to take in the Chicago skyline. Warm up with hot chocolate, grab a fresh churro, or gather around a fire pit for s’mores. Select nights bring roaming carolers, ice carvers turning blocks of ice into frosty works of art right before your eyes, and more surprise entertainment.
Ticket prices range from $7 to $20, depending on the date and ticket type. Admission is free with registration on Mondays (excluding December 21 and 28).
