FAQs

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

Adults Night Out 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!
