Zoo Lights provides the perfect backdrop for holiday celebrations. Come and experience a light safari with more than 60 brilliantly-illuminated acres of lights, featuring more than 150 animated animal sculptures that swing through trees, jump across lawns, hide in bushes and appear in places where they’re least expected. As part of the event rental package, you will receive a private room and admission to Zoo Lights. Additional tickets may be purchased at a special zoo lights group rate.
All facilities are located inside the Gates Center and are decorated for the holidays. Norgren Hall is our main indoor facility with large floor to ceiling windows and provides a spectacular view of our millions of twinkling lights.
