This Northern California Zoo Has One Of The Most Spectacular Christmas Light Displays You’ve Ever Seen
It seems like magical Christmas light displays can be found pretty much everywhere you turn during this time of year. However, featured below is one of the most highly anticipated light displays in the state. Every year, this one zoo totally transforms into a glowing wonderland of dazzling lights. Simply put, this is a winter bucket list destination for any Northern Californian. If you have yet to see it, you’ll want to make this the year that you do.
Every year, this one zoo puts on one of the most magical light displays in Northern California. Oakland ZooLights is a time-honored tradition for many families, and you'll want to make sure you don't miss it this year.
If there's just one place to be during this holiday season, it's the Oakland Zoo. Here you can enjoy a dazzling Winter Wonderland of lights while exploring all of the zoo's wildlife and attractions.
ZooLights is currently going on every night from 5:30 pm until 9:00 pm, through January 6. The animal-themed light show is simply stunning and unlike any light display you've seen before.
Soar over the Oakland hills via the gondola (also festively lit) and enjoy a fantastic view of the Bay Area skyline. You'll land at the hilltop Landing Cafe where you can indulge in some hot cocoa and s'mores.
If you wander around enough, you might just stumble across Santa himself. He can often be seen around the zoo, posing for pictures with googly-eyed children.
New this year, visitors will enjoy swirling snowfalls over a illuminated Santa's workshop for the ultimate holiday experience. There's nothing like some snow to really make you feel like you've been transported to the North Pole!
ZooLights is a stand alone event that isn't included in regular membership. Tickets can be purchased for $10 for adults and $9 for seniors and children. For more information, you can visit the Oakland Zoo website here.
