Step back into the ultimate throwback party at 80s vs 90s Night at the Zoo, a special adults-only evening at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. Guests ages 21+ can enjoy an exciting after-hours experience filled with nostalgic music, entertainment, drinks, wildlife, and colorful zoo gardens.

The evening features a live DJ spinning popular '80s and '90s hits, a live band, karaoke, lawn games, a photo booth, and free carousel rides. Guests can explore zoo buildings and grounds while enjoying views of wildlife, depending on each animal's choice to remain indoors or outdoors.
