Holiday Celebrations In Arizona
Take a walk on the wild side through the Phoenix Zoo that has been transformed into Wildlife In Wild Lights. This magical event features 3.5 million twinkling, dancing lights making it one of the largest holiday lights shows in the country.
ZooLights has are more than 600 glimmering light sculptures. Although animal viewing is limited as most of the animals are sleeping, you will see zebra, otter, flamingos, watusi cattle and others in the animal kingdom that have more nocturnal habits. As for the rest, you'll definitely see many of their likenesses lit up for your viewing enjoyment.
ZooLights has gone green using LED (light-emitting diode) lights that consume far less energy than 
standard light bulbs. They also require less energy to manufacture, thereby reducing their environmental impact even further. The millions of lights are powered by SRP EarthWise Energy, a more environmentally friendly way to produce electricity. EarthWise Energy helps keep our Valley clean by producing energy from sun, wind, the earth’s heat and flowing water in our canals.
Among the many features of this spectacular light show are:
- Gigantic new 3D praying mantis
- Life-size unicorn under a rainbow near Orang-Hutan
- Giant light display shining on the butte behind the African Savanna
- 24 foot diameter lighted sphere floating on the lake
- Life size, 3D lion (great photo opportunity!)
- Stunning Music in Motion dancing tree show
- Live animal presentation
- Carousel and camel rides* (*Fees apply)
Jengo the giraffe is one of the animals that likes staying up late and can't wait to see his many friends enjoying Wildlife in Wild Lights. Each ticket purchase for ZooLights helps the Phoenix Zoo fund their educational programs, conservation projects and feed the animals.
