This winter, Minnesota is lighting up with drive-thru light displays in every region. Duluth’s famous Bentleyville attraction is a drive-thru for the first time, the Minnesota State Fairgrounds are lighting up with a festive exhibit, and ValleyFair is putting on the magical Christmas in Color attraction. Each of these events is well worth visiting for the holiday cheer they bring to the season. But there’s another light show that you’ll definitely want to add to your bucket list this winter. It’s not holiday themed, but it will dazzle with its beautiful, larger-than-life animal displays. Read on below to learn all you need to know about Nature Illuminated at the Minnesota Zoo.

Nature Illuminated is a brand-new exhibit this winter at the Minnesota Zoo. It runs for more than a month, from December 3 to January 17, so you have plenty of time to enjoy this magical event.
