Brookfield Zoo Chicago is blooming with excitement in anticipation of its spring event lineup, announcing its signature events scheduled through May 2025. Guests of all ages are invited to connect with wildlife and nature while creating new memories at Brookfield Zoo Chicago, especially during a fun-filled weekend at the first-ever Spring Fest this April. The annual first sign of spring at Brookfield Zoo Chicago was seen on March 10, when the herd of reticulated giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) stretched their legs outside at Habitat Africa! The Savannah. Just as Chicagoans embrace the sunshine, guests can also expect to see more animals exploring their outdoor habitats in the warm weather ahead. This spring schedule of events will be complemented by a full lineup of summer and winter fun—including the return of the popular Ferris Wheel and the Roaring Nights concert series! Guests will again have an opportunity to enjoy soaring sights over Brookfield Zoo Chicago this summer, with a new wheelchair-accessible gondola. More information, including the Ferris Wheel’s expected opening day, will be available at brookfieldzoo.org/visit.
