America’s Teaching Zoo shines bright this holiday season during its enchanting holiday light event. 

Santa Claus stops by for visits on November 29,  December 6 and December 13. Families can visit with Santa and take photos; no photos are offered for purchase.

This winter lights experience is built around a self-guided stroll throughout the Zoo filled with dynamic larger-than-life light installations, interactive displays, fabulous photo ops, and seasonal magic.

On select nights guests can sweeten the experience with optional add-on cookie and cupcake decorating classes.  ($10 per kit, December 13 & 21)

Please note: This is not an animal centered event, some of the animals enjoy the lights and some just sleep through the night.
