Fall Fest

Fall Fest at Lincoln Park Zoo brings the season’s harvest to the heart of the city with a free, family-friendly celebration that runs weekends from late September through October. Visitors can pick a pumpkin, toast s’mores over a fire pit, and take in rides and entertainers scattered throughout the grounds. The festival’s final day lands on Sunday, December 20, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering one last chance to catch the seasonal atmosphere. With no admission charge, it’s a low-key, budget-friendly way to spend a fall day in the city.
