ZooLights is set to once again dazzle visitors of all ages when it opens for the holiday season on Friday, November 22. This winter wonderland attracts thousands of visitors each year who get into the holiday spirit by strolling along tree-lined paths lit by thousands of twinkling lights. Stroll through the beautifully lit Yukon Creek and see black bears, a bald eagle, Canada lynx, arctic foxes and even reindeer! Enjoy more festive fun by warming up by the fire pits and toasting marshmallows for s’mores (available for purchase).

Children can visit with Santa, who awaits their arrival in Santa’s Castle. Jolly Old St. Nick is available for photos through December 24.

On December 4, 11, 18 and 24, guests can also meet Mrs. Claus, who greets visitors and spreads holiday cheer throughout the Zoo from 5:30–8:30 p.m.

During ZooLights, guests also have the opportunity to experience Brick Safari. As you explore the paths of Stone Zoo, prepare to spot over 40 life-size animal sculptures made from millions of colorful LEGO® bricks. Brick Safari, built by BRICKLIVE, is presented by Metro by T-Mobile.
