Los Angeles Zoo Lights

 – presented by the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association

L.A.’s brightest holiday tradition shines more brilliantly than ever! Stroll through an expanded area of the Zoo that is transformed into a fantastical wonderland populated by glowing light animals and a trove of dazzling additions and a dramatic display combining light, water and music.  This year’s event features more light animals than ever before, spectacular new additions – both hand-crafted and high-tech – and returning favorites.

The self-guided tour through select areas of the Zoo takes 60 to 90 minutes. For improved guest experience, ticket times are staggered. When purchasing tickets, you’ll select a date and time.
