Brookfield Zoo's Holiday Magic

Not to be outdone by Lincoln Park Zoo's Zoo Lights, the Brookfield Zoo puts on its own huge light show with Holiday Magic, running throughout weekends in December. With almost one million lights, a laser light show, synchronized dancing lights, carolers, performers, and more, it's sure to get you and your family into the holiday spirit. There's even a sing-a-long where visitors get to belt out some of their favorite Christmas songs to the animals.
