Pack up your sleigh and bring Santa’s little helpers to the Zoo for a spectacular night of holiday fun starting November 20th!  For this special night-time spectacular, the Houston Zoo will be transformed into a winter wonderland, filled with brilliant displays of colorful lights and festive holiday music.

Enjoy the sights and sounds that features vibrant lights that dance in time to joyful music.  Sip hot chocolate and apple cider, decorate your own gingerbread man and enjoy a Zoo Lights menu of funnel cakes, fresh baked cinnamon rolls, sugar pecans and assorted fudge while you stroll through twinkling lights adorning magnificent live oak trees, whimsical colorful displays, and the life-sized illuminated sculptures.

Zoo Lights will also illuminate the tiger, lion, rhino, giraffe, African wild dog, and ankole cattle exhibits. Stroll indoors and visit Natural Encounters, The Reptile House, and the Kipp Aquarium. Plan your trip ahead with our special Zoo Lights page.
