Fall Fest

The Fall Fest at Lincoln Park Zoo offers the kind of unhurried autumn afternoon that works for a range of ages — pumpkin picking, s'mores by a fire pit, rides, and roving entertainers all spread across the grounds. The festival runs weekends through late September and into October, with this particular Saturday, November 21, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free, though expect to pay for pumpkins and food.
