 IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! 

Join us for an exclusive MEMBERS ONLY Holiday Lights evening on Thursday, November 20 from 5PM to 8PM! Enjoy the lights displayed throughout the Zoo, entertainment and more!

This special event is set to the backdrop of some animals. Most animals will not be in their habitats, therefore, not visible to guests. The focus is on an evening stroll outdoors through light displays and photo ops with friends and family, featuring some fun seasonal activities:

  • Grab a bite of food from Big John’s Gourmet Burgers
  • Warm up with coffee or ice cream from Drive-In Cones & Coffee
  • Photo Ops with Santa (photo packages available for purchase)
  • Get your groove on with our Live DJ at the amphitheater
  • Light displays located throughout the Zoo
  • Smores and Hot Chocolate Stations outside the Savanna Café
  • Get your face painted by DeeWorks FacepaintsToo

The train and carousel will be open with no fee. The Savanna Café and Gift Shop will be open. Kettle Corn and Zeppolis available for purchase. Areas to check out to see an animal or two that are open are the Touch Tank, Reptile House and Farm.

Igloos available for rental. Contact Darnell for more information: [email protected]

Please bring a valid photo ID and membership for entry.

Event is subject to change.
