Zoo Lights is a truly magical destination creating lasting memories and a favorite, continuing tradition for our community.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING AT THE ZOO
Remember when the toy catalog arrived in the mail? This year, we're creating a version of that for you to peruse in advance of Zoo Lights so you're ready to shop when you arrive! Check out great gifts, stocking stuffers, and, "thinking of you," items to round out your holiday shopping.
GIVE BACK THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
All throughout the zoo and the community are "Giving Trees" that have gift tags on them for items you can purchase and deliver to the zoo! This give back program helps us year round and is a great way to support the zoo!
