Fall Fest

Lincoln Park Zoo’s Fall Fest brings pumpkin picking, fire-pit s'mores, rides, and live entertainers to the zoo grounds, running weekends from late September through October. The event on Sunday, December 6 is a scheduling quirk — the festival typically wraps up in October, so confirm with the zoo before heading out. This is a free, family-friendly outing with a harvest theme, though the December date may feel more winter than fall.
