Frequently Asked Questions

Collapse All Expand All
What parts of the zoo will be open, and will I see animals?

This event will take place throughout Lincoln Park Zoo’s buildings and grounds.

Animals that live at Lincoln Park Zoo always have the choice to be indoors or out, in view of the public or not. This is a zoo policy that promotes positive animal welfare. We hope many animals will choose to be outside, but they may choose to spend their evening indoors.

Make sure to stop by animal habitats when they’re receiving enrichment (the schedule will be in your online program) for the highest likelihood of great animal viewing!

Is this event accessible?

Maybe. If tickets remain available, a limited number of tickets will be for sale at the entrance gates for a higher price. We highly recommend purchasing tickets in advance, though, as this event always sells out quickly!

In the case of inclement weather, we will move what we can indoors or under cover. Please check the weather and dress accordingly!
