For an exciting event full of bright lights, festivity, and unique animals, check out ZooLights at the Stone Zoo! You can spend a few hours touring the magical winter wonderland zoo and walking through the illuminated path of trees with twinkly lights hanging on them as you see pretty holiday decor and all the animals, from black bears and bald eagles to reindeer, Arctic foxes, and more. They even have rides to enjoy and go on, like their carousel and Jungle Fun (great for kids especially). 

If you come on a Tuesday from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m., you’ll get to say hello to Mrs. Claus! She’ll be walking around the zoo for everyone to meet and interact with as she spreads holiday cheer throughout the place. Since Santa Claus cannot come in person this year, they’re offering a Santa Zoom, where children can talk to him right from home without having to miss out. You can schedule a meeting with Santa through their website.
