Zoo Lights at Reid Park Zoo

Zoolights at Reid Park Zoo is an annual Tucson holiday tradition that transforms the zoo into a winter wonderland. The family-friendly event features twinkling lights and lighted animal sculptures throughout the zoo grounds, along with nightly visits from Santa Claus himself. Guests can also enjoy live entertainment nightly through December 23rd, along with cookies, hot cocoa and other holiday snacks. There will also be camel rides available. Most animals won't be visible during the event, but you can rest assured there will still be plenty to see and hear. Zoolights offers two post-Christmas "encore" nights, usually held on December 26 and 27.
