This is a sweet memory for you to make on the cheap(er). Brookfield Zoo’s Holiday magic for $13 (50% off). My kids and I would go year after year; of course, they don’t remember any of it now, but the lights are always beautiful and the lane of Christmas trees decorated by local schools was also fun to check out. The program seems to have gotten much larger, at least by looking at the lighting displays online, so the ooh and ahh factor has grown exponentially.
Check your local library, they gave me 2 free tickets as part of some program for the arts, BZ was included. Schaumburg Township Library, must have a card there….FYI
Damn! I can’t believe I didn’t think of this one, since I practically live at my library. Great suggestion, folks, since your library is supported with your taxes.
