Dallas Zoo Lights

See the Dallas Zoo in a whole new light this holiday season!   The Dallas Zoo is debuting a new must-see holiday event this November, hosting its first ever holiday celebration – Dallas Zoo Lights Presented by Reliant. After the animals head in for the evening, the Dallas Zoo will be transformed into a winter wonderland with nearly 1 million twinkling lights illuminating the night sky throughout the holidays.   Guests can stroll along a path that covers 25 acres within the Zoo, enjoying an array of light-wrapped trees, overhead and hanging light displays, and lighted 2-D decorations. Various lighted vignettes throughout the Zoo will give you the feeling of being transported to an African watering hole or to a holiday candy land at the North Pole.   The Dallas Zoo will be one of only two zoos in the U.S. to showcase fantastic 3- D light sculptures hand-built in France. We’ll also have an amazing one-of-a-kind tree covered in sound-reactive lights in the Lacerte Family Children’s Zoo – we encourage lots of caroling so we can see the tree respond in a new way each night! - - Dallas Zoo Lights Presented by Reliant is free with regular zoo admission and free to Dallas Zoo members, meaning guests can visit us during the day to walk around and see the animals, and stay for the holiday celebration at night for no additional charge. Guests are also welcome to come just for the lighted holiday festivities, which are scheduled from 5-9 p.m. each night the event is open.
