At the North entrance of the Brookfield Zoo, you walk down a short path in order to get into the zoo. When you arrive at the tunnel, there is a Brookfield Zoo sign with different animals designed around it. During the Christmas season there is a projected picture of snowflakes on each end of the tunnel. There are also lights hung up around both sides of the tunnel to light it up even more.
