Check out more than two million lights during Zoo Lights 2015 at the Houston Zoo from Friday, November 20, 2015 to Saturday, January 9, 2016.
Zoo Lights is back again this year with two million bulbs to light your way.
Sip on hot chocolate (add a shot of Bailey’s if you’d like) as you stroll around the Houston Zoo taking in the light displays and getting into the holiday spirit.
Snack on freshly roasted nuts, homemade fudge, gingerbread men, or eat a full meal from Macaw Café or Cypress Circle.
Head to the reflection pool each evening at 7pm and 8pm to enjoy music from local carolers and musical groups.
While most animals will be asleep during the hours of Zoo Lights, feel free to warm up in the Reptile House, Kipp Aquarium, Natural Encounters or Bug House and check out the animals that live there.
