ZooLights, the Christmas light display at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago
In recent weeks and since the last time I posted on Hive, a lot has happened in my life. One of those things is that I am visiting my son in Chicago to spend the holidays with him. And last weekend, we visited the Lincoln Park Zoo to see the Christmas light display.
ZooLights is one of the iconic visits these days in the Windy City to enjoy the magic of the holidays. So let me share with you some of the photos for this month's Hive Collectors theme.
From the moment you enter, you are captivated by the festive atmosphere of thousands of dazzling lights.
Without thinking twice, we followed the crowds along the route between lights.
Would you like to take a ride on one of these colorful ponies?
Or perhaps a dip in a lake of lights?
Or a walk through the forest of colorful trees?
I loved the giant red teddy bear and the smiling Mr. and Mrs. Light who looked very happy.
There was a small Ferris wheel in one area of the zoo, but it was so cold that we didn't feel like waiting in line to ride it.
Santa couldn't be missing with his sleigh and reindeer.
Lights aside, on our walk among the lights, we detoured a couple of times to enter some of the buildings in the zoo. Most of the animals were asleep and in some cases could not be seen, but in the case of the chimpanzees, they seemed not to want to miss the visitors, and I was able to capture a few of them through the glass.
I would have loved to see the polar bear they have at the zoo, but that area was closed, so we had to settle for seeing the light-up polar bears.
After almost two hours walking among the lights and seeing a few animals, we walked toward one of the exits.
I already told you that the night was freezing, right? And when we left the zoo, it was very windy, and it almost hurt me to breathe because the air was so cold, hehe. But when we left, we crossed a small bridge that gave us a beautiful view of the illuminated city. It wasn't part of the ligths display, but it was just as magical, don't you think?
And even though it was freezing cold, the walk to enjoy the magic of the ZooLights was well worth it. Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas!! 🎄✨️🤗
That's cool! Enjoy there! I watch some images of the Windy City and I smile remembering old times!
I'm fine, amiga. All ok!
Time to celebrate! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Oh, wow! Those are some beautiful light decorations in Chicago! 🤩
Too bad for that freezing cold 🥶, it's cold here as well so I don't really fancy taking the usual walks, but I can imagine it's nothing compared to the real winter and real cold you experienced there. I loved everything in ZooLights, especially all those colourful trees. Hmmm, maybe those ponies are zebras actually? I don't know, I just had that impression because of the stripes, even though those are colourful stripes and not black. In any case they are very cute. 😊
Thank you very much @coquicoin for your contribution to this monthly theme, I loved seeing these lights 😍. May you have a merry Christmas and enjoy the visit and spending time with your son!!! That is the most important ❤️✨️

Thank you @mipiano 💕
Haha, they're definitely zebras. I don't know what I was thinking when I thought they could be ponies. It's obvious they're colorful zebras. 😆😆
The weather here is crazy. Some days you feel like you're going to freeze because of the wind and that you could lose your ears or nose hehe, and the next day the temperature suddenly rises and it feels like a cold day that if you wrap up warm, you'll be fine.
My pleasure to join this monthly theme, maybe I'll share some more Christmas lights these days.
Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful time with your family during these holidays.🎄✨️
Hugs!!
That is amazing looking light show. We plan to visit one once the family comes into town tha tis in an underground cavern in nearby Louisville. I have never been, but the wife has. They say it is amazing to see. Luckily you can remain in the warmth of your car. You looked very cold, so makes me glad of that. So happy you were able to see your son for the holidays.
Enjoy your family visit and the light show you're going to see.
Being able to see my son these days is a blessing.
Thanks, Joe! Have a Merry Christmas! 🎄✨️
Ohh, I guess you'll have a really enjoyable and awesome holiday with your son. I wish you all a merry and happy Christmas 🌼✨🌟💃. And gosh, the park really has that amazing Christmas vibe in it, dazzling, sparkling with colorful lights, the designs and everything. But it really freezing cold ha, but not enough to stop the people from enjoying the Park 🌼
Thank you, Rufa!
My best wishes to you and your family this Christmas!
Have a wonderful time and Merry Christmas! 🎄✨

Happy holidays @coquicoin, it’s so good to hear from you and to know you’re spending this season with your son. The warmth of family is the best remedy for the cold. And about the lights… oh, my friend, this is the kind of Zoo I prefer. Those polar bears made of lights are beautiful.
Hola @nanixxx!
I hope everything is well. Many blessings to you and yours.
Happy Holidays! 🎄✨️🤗
Such a beauty! Will definitely be a joy if I am able to visit and experience the lights myself!
That's really beautiful light show. I enjoyed watching it through the images you shared.
I wish you happy holidays with your son and Happy Christmas.
