With hot chocolate in hand, I took a walk through ZooLights at the Phoenix Zoo. ZooLights is exactly what it sounds like … animal-shaped light displays at the Zoo. The lights are accompanied by and in some places synced to Christmas music. It’s a good time, although I’m not sure I could bear the cold without the hot chocolate to warm me up. These Phoenix winters are rough!
We even saw a (real) zebra.
Ticket prices for Zoolights range from $10 to $12 for value tickets and $16-18 for any night tickets. You can save a couple of dollars by buying tickets online. Children 2 and younger are free.
