Lincoln Park Zoo's Fall Fest, presented by Jewel-Osco, will return on Friday, September 27 and will run through the end of October. Celebrating its tenth anniversary, this beloved autumn event is free admission and will feature family-friendly fun like pumpkin carving, autumn-themed animal viewing opportunities, and musical entertainment.
“Whether you’re looking to pick out the perfect pumpkin, romp through the harvest maze, or embrace the crisp autumn air with a hot cup of apple cider, there’s something for everyone at Fall Fest," said Meg Hein, an event manager at Lincoln Park Zoo.
In addition to free activities, several ticketed limit-edition attractions will be available, such as a Ferris wheel, Fun Slide, and inflatable attractions. The zoo will also offer its popular daily attractions like the Lionel Train Adventure and AT&T Endangered Species Carousel.
For those looking to elevate their experience, Fall Fest will also feature exclusive photo opportunities and a fall pop-up bar with seasonal décor, Patch’s Pumpkin Bar & Grill.
The event runs Friday through Sunday from Friday, September 27 to Sunday, October 27, including Monday, October 14. Each day, the festival operates from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets for specific attractions are sold individually for $4 each or in bulk packages.
