Get into the festive spirit with Zoo Lights Powered by LES! Witness the magic as the entire Zoo transforms into the largest holiday lights extravaganza in the Midwest. Immerse yourself in multiple mesmerizing light shows synchronized to cheerful holiday tunes, stroll through enchanting hanging vine lights, traverse light tunnels, encounter over 30 captivatingly lit animal silhouettes, and embark on delightful holiday train rides—just a glimpse of the enchantment that awaits! Be sure to catch sight of our dazzling new light features that promise to be unforgettable.

And that’s not all—indulge in the season’s joy with a visit to our s’mores or hot cocoa stations, offering delectable holiday treats that will warm your heart.

Beyond the enchantment, know that every ticket purchased for Zoo Lights Powered by LES directly contributes to supporting the Zoo and its furry inhabitants during the winter months.

This extraordinary event operates on a timed-ticket basis, and given the popularity, dates and times are expected to sell out. Avoid disappointment by securing your tickets in advance, as they will not be available at the gates once sold out.

Excitingly, we’re introducing something special this year! For our guests aged 21 and above, elevate your Zoo Lights experience with adult hot cocoas and hot ciders featuring enticing flavors like Irish cream, cinnamon, and peppermint. Additionally, indulge in beer and wine offerings, available for guests 21 and older on Thursday through Saturday evenings.

Come join us for a dazzling celebration that combines the magic of the holidays with the wonder of the animal kingdom. Zoo Lights Powered by LES promises to be a radiant spectacle that you won’t want to miss!
