Brookfield Zoo Chicago

Launching on the cusp of the spring equinox, Glow Wild celebrates global cultures and communities through the artistry of light. As the sun sets, the Zoo transforms into an immersive wonderland featuring massive, hand-crafted animal lanterns that blend global storytelling with a message of conservation. Beyond the lights, guests can enjoy live music, dance performances and unique international cuisine. Every ticket includes event parking and rides on the Carousel and Ferris Wheel.

Get ready for a roaring adventure at Brookfield Zoo Chicago! The Dino Dash Fun Run invites you to race, jog or casually stroll along a scenic 2-mile course that winds directly through the zoo’s world-class wildlife displays. Once you cross the finish line, you'll be celebrated with a commemorative Dino Dash medal to mark your achievement. The excitement doesn't end there, though; your registration also includes free admission to the zoo for the rest of the day, along with complimentary access to the Ferris wheel and carousel.
