Family Shabbat on the Lake | 2026

Get ready for one of our most beloved summer traditions—Family Shabbat on the Lake at Lincoln Park Zoo! Join us for a warm and welcoming family-friendly Shabbat service as we celebrate the beauty of Shabbat through song, reflection, and connection.

After the service, enjoy a delicious Kosher dinner catered by Zelda’s Kosher catering at the Bird’s Eye Bar and Grill. Then, keep the fun going with a family-friendly scavenger hunt as you explore the zoo together.
