Photos will be available for purchase onsite and online following the event.

Santa will depart for the North Pole on Christmas Day, so he will not be at WildLights on December 26 and 27.

Recognized in the Top 5 Best Zoo Lights by USA Today, WildLights guests will encounter a herd of life-size, luminescent animal lanterns, explore newly added pathways and stroll through the popular tunnel of lights flashing to holiday music. In true WildLights tradition, the festive G-scale model trains with more than 3,300 feet of track will be decked out for the holidays. Delicious food and beverages will also be available for purchase.
