We know the winter holidays may seem far away but the LA Zoo is already getting in the spirit! The famous LA Zoo Lights starts November 18th and is sure to be a great treat for family and friends.

What began in 2014 has quickly grown into an LA holiday classic with beautiful lights displayed across a large area of the zoo. This year will be the best yet with animal themed LEDs, lasers, 3D projections and animated displays. Given that it is the event's "Golden" anniversary, the zoo has pulled out all the stops with a disco-ball forest, glittering light tunnels, a water-light show and a "black light party" hosted by the LAIR reptile house.

In addition to the stunning light show, the zoo offers great merchandise, hot cocoa and holiday treats, REAL reindeer and scheduled Santa visits! The event is in it's "early bird" hours from Nov. 18th – Dec. 1st with reservations for 6PM only. Tickets are only $9 a person so be sure to bring the whole family!
