In Pictures: Lincoln Park Zoo's Zoo Lights

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 28, 2011 4:00PM

Lincoln Park Zoo's annual Zoo Lights exhibit is as much a part of the holidays in Chicago as mulled wine in Daley Plaza, the Music Box Christmas sing-a-long and last-minute gift shopping. Chicagoist Photos Flickr pool contributor Scott McMorrow gets the nod as the first reader to contribute photos from the zoo lights exhibit to the pool.

The Zoo Lights exhibit is open to the public from 5-9 p.m. on Dec. 2-4, Dec. 9-11 and daily from Dec. 16 through Han. 1, 2012. (They'll be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.) We've included the program below. Also consider bringing a coat to the zoo as they have drop boxes set up along the route as part of a coat drive.
