2016 Jungle Bells

Twinkling lights, festive foods, and merry performances transform the Zoo into a wild, glowing wonderland.

Ride the Twinkle Light Trolley to tour an array of animal light sculptures, enjoy jingly, jazzy carols, acrobatic trampoline elves, and more.

Plus, it is one more chance to see the larger-than-life centennial animal puppets of “The Journey”—lit up and aglow for the holidays in celebration of our 100th birthday.

Join us for plenty of good cheer!

Festivities are ongoing from December 10 through January 2.
