Rather than putting a ton of effort into an outing and then just hitting one spot, why not extend the adventure? This week, we’re pairing a visit to the Lincoln Park Zoo’s Fall Fest with dinner at Fuh.
Main attraction: Lincoln Park Zoo
2001 N. Clark St. 312-742-2000
How much: free entry, $3 for one ride ticket
Take your pumpkin to Lincoln Park Zoo’s Fall Fest on your next date. The festival is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 29. Fall-themed and other fun attractions include a Ferris wheel, corn maze, hay mountain, slide, inflatable obstacle course and live music. You can also purchase a pumpkin or two from their pumpkin patch to take home and carve together.
