Between the warm pretzels, handmade ornaments, and festive music, there is something for everyone. The market is open through Christmas Eve.
Ice Skating at Millennium Park
You can’t arrive in Chicago for a holiday adventure without setting aside time for ice skating at Millennium Park. After all, it is the quintessential winter activity. This is one of Chicago’s most scenic rinks, set against the stunning skyline. You can even reserve free skating lessons! The ice rink will be open until early February.
ZooLights at Lincoln Park Zoo
For 30 years, Lincoln Park Zoo has illuminated more than three million lights for Chicago’s favorite holiday tradition. Bring your family to ZooLights to experience the interactive displays, the holiday light tunnel, and the iconic Ferris wheel. Guests can enjoy hot chocolate or roast s’mores over an open fire.
