Holiday Magic,

Any time is a great time to visit the Brookfield Zoo. But it’s even more exciting during Holiday Magic. There is so much to do. The Zoo really takes on an entirely different look and feel. If you dress properly you will really enjoy your Holiday Magic experience.

Visit the Zoo during winter!

If you bundle up, visiting the zoo in winter is a great experience. There are no crowds to weed through, and you'd be surprised by how many of the animals are out and about! The zoo is popular during Holiday Magic, but any time during winter is a great time to visit.

Brookfield Zoo

Brookfield Zoo is a fun place to visit anytime of year. It’s open all year round and the winter months can often be the best time to go because it isn’t crowded and the animals are still active. They have a lot of different special events through out the year but of course the animals are the main attraction. Be sure to check out Hudson, the zoo’s youngest polar bear, he’s usually very playful and fun to watch.
