ZooLights: Timeless tradition. Endless wonder.

Whether you visit ZooLights every year, or you’re starting a brand-new family tradition, the Phoenix Zoo has everything you need to celebrate the season.

Embrace the holiday spirit as more than four million twinkling lights transform the Phoenix Zoo into a winter wonderland with over two miles of glimmering tree-lined trails, dozens of life-like animal lanterns and the tallest floating tree in North America, featuring an all-new light show.

Relax by the firepit while enjoying s’mores and hot cocoa, swing into fun at the Glow Garden, get your photo with Santa and create lasting holiday memories at the Phoenix Zoo.
