Dallas Park and Recreation continues bringing in the season with a month’s worth of holiday festivities, including Dallas Zoo Lights, happening through January 2.
The Dallas Zoo invites you to “walk through a wild winter wonderland” as the zoo literally glows with more than two million lights on display this holiday season.
Get ready to be transported to a world of prehistoric wonder with the Dino Lights, and immerse yourself in a unique traveling illuminating art exhibit that will captivate your attention.
Experience a mesmerizing display of over 60 larger-than-life glowing lanterns that will leave you in awe. Brace yourself for an enchanting choreographed light show in the Amphitheater, showcasing a symphony of colors and patterns.
In addition to all the fun activities, guests are in for a treat with a range of delightful holiday-themed snacks and beverages that both adults and children can enjoy. There will also be an array of interactive craft stations, holiday-inspired photo opportunities, and exhibits catering to all age groups.
While experiencing the magical wonder of Dallas Zoo Lights, guests can enjoy live musical performances at the Grove. And, to make their experience even more unforgettable, visitors can take a trip to Santa’s Village to meet Santa himself.
Dallas Zoo Lights is open on select nights from 5:30 – 10 p.m., with advanced ticket purchase required. Non-member ticket pricing on non-premium nights is $19 for adults and $15 for youth, with member pricing $15 for adults and $11 for youth. Patron, sponsor, curator, and president’s circle supporters are free of charge. Tickets may be purchased here. It’s important to note that while the event is taking place, the majority of the zoo’s animals will be sleeping.
