Lincoln Park Zoo Santa - His 2008 Schedule

Lincoln Park Zoo Santa Overview:

This year the Lincoln Park Zoo Santa will greet visitors and take wish lists at the Kovler Lion House. I'm not sure what he advises when a child requests an actual lion, but I'm sure he knows just what to say. Santa appears every year during the Zoolights festival, which illuminates the grounds with millions of holiday lights. Learn more about Zoolights here and find Santa's schedule below.

Admission to the Lincoln Park Zoo is always free, including seeing Santa.

In 2008, this Santa won bonus points for pulling out a guitar and singing the Dreidel song to some Jewish children who were checking out his scene.
