Now that the holiday season is here, it's time to start having some yule'n fun. The annual ZooLights festival returned yesterday to the Lincoln Park Zoo, providing plenty of fun for the family. Best of all? It's free. The festival features more than 1.5 million lights runs every weekend through December 14 and then is open nightly from December 15th through January 1st (except for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). Featuring events for the whole family, like arts and crafts and tips for keeping warm in the winter, the annual festival is free to all and has even gone a bit greener this year by using LED lights this year. The LP Zoo is open each day from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. with ZooLight fun starting at 5 p.m. Be one of the first 1,000 visitors each night and receive a free pair of 3-D glasses to enhance the experience.
