Oktoberfest at the Zoo: Celebrate Fall with Pretzels, Polka & More!

As the golden hues of fall begin to drape the city, Lincoln Park Zoo is bringing in a unique way for adults to usher in the season: Oktoberfest at the Zoo! This is not your regular beer fest; it’s an experience packed with tradition, entertainment, and, most importantly, a chance to make memories with friends.

Pretzels and polka and beer, oh my!

Are you a beer enthusiast? Great! Not so much? No worries. Whether you enjoy sipping on Oktoberfest beers, wines, seltzers, and cocktails or prefer non-alcoholic beverages, this fest has something for everyone. And, of course, what’s Oktoberfest without some delightful pretzels to go along? Feel the spirit of Oktoberfest, and remember to don your lederhosen. Ready to shout “Prost”? We thought so!

Experience More than Just Beverages!

You might wonder, “Is it just about drinks?” Oh, there’s so much more! Picture this: you, with a drink in hand, exploring over 170 species in Lincoln Park Zoo’s expansive habitats, all under the crisp fall evening sky. As you wander, you’ll be treated to live performances by Die Musikmeisters, Chicago’s No. 1 German Band, at the Main Mall. And for those wanting to kick off their shoes and groove, a live DJ will spin pop and party hits on the South Lawn.
