Lincoln Park Zoo’s Fall Fest

Dive into the wonderful world of autumn—from picking the perfect pumpkin to taking in the scents of hot cider and toasted s’mores—with Lincoln Park Zoo’s Fall Fest Presented by Jewel-Osco.

This free, family-friendly celebration brings harvest-time fun to the heart of Chicago each year from September through October.

This year’s Fall Fest features ticketed attractions throughout the zoo, including a Fun Slide, Ferris wheel, inflatable activities, and much more.

While you stroll through the decorated gardens bursting with fall color, you’ll enjoy free musical entertainment, professional pumpkin carvers, a pumpkin patch, and fall-themed enrichment for the animals. Every weekend will offer something new!
