Banish The Winter Darkness At The Holiday Themed Zoo Lights In Alaska

Looking to have some outdoor fun with the family this holiday season? Holiday Zoo Lights in Alaska is an annual tradition that families look forward to every year. Stroll the zoo during the evenings and be dazzled by its gorgeous light displays, beautiful scenery, and amazing animals with some of the best holiday lights in Alaska! It's one of the best things to do at the Alaska Zoo. Holidays in Alaska don't get much better than this!

Every year the amazing Alaska Zoo holds a holiday Zoo Lights event!

Tickets can be purchased both online and at the door.

Stroll through canopies of colored lights throughout the 25 acres inside the Zoo.

This event is looked forward to all year long. The entire zoo dresses up in beautiful light displays that you can adore while walking through the snowy landscape.

You'll also stroll by enclosures with the stunning Arctic wolves, although they may be hard to see if there's lots of snow.

The polar bear, Cranbeary, may or may not be available for viewing in person. Cameras are set up in her den, however, and you can view her on the monitors in the Coffee Shop dining room.

The entire Zoo is awash in holiday-themed light displays, including light-wrapped trees along the trail.

Many of the animals you'll see are native to Alaska, and are used to the cold temperatures. You'll pass by the majestic musk oxen, whose fur, qiviut, is one of the warmest fibers on the planet!

Enjoy watching fun light displays that display animals participating all sorts of crazy antics.

Make sure to dress warmly! The entire light display is outside and it can get pretty cold most nights during the winter. There are a couple of spots to warm up, but you will mostly be walking outside along the trails.

End your stroll through this magical holiday event at the gorgeous bonfire to warm up a bit.

Enjoy your hot cup of cocoa from the Zoo's cafe, while you admire the lights and animals around the bonfire. It's a wonderful way to finish your evening at the Zoo.

The Zoo Lights are an impressive display of dazzling lights that are a treat for the eyes. Make sure to attend this year!
