Almost a million twinkling lights and countless animated images make Lights Before Christmas at Riverbanks zoo in Columbia South Carolina a must-see for everyone of all ages. New and dazzling creations every year, like elephants splashing cascades of light and monkeys swinging from trees, make this radiant spectacle one you'll want to experience again and again. The kids will love the castle with the snow machine. Visit with Santa Clause, roast some marshmallows, and enjoy the kid-sized "gingerbread" houses throughout the zoo.

Make plans now and you wont be disappointed. We make this a traditional trip with our family every year. We all meet there and spend the last few hours of daylight looking at the animals. Then when the lights come on...WOW!
