Zoo Lights Powered by LES
November 20 - December 30, 2026 (Closed Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day)
Get in the holiday spirit with Zoo Lights Powered by LES! During this event, the Zoo is transformed into one of the largest lights displays in the Midwest. Experience multiple light shows choreographed to holiday music, hanging vine lights, light tunnels, over 30 lit animal silhouettes, holiday train rides, and more! Don't forget to stop by a s'mores or hot cocoa station for tasty holiday treats. Proceeds from Zoo Lights Powered by LES directly supports the Zoo and animals in the winter months.
