Enter a winter wonderland of tree-lined paths lit by thousands of twinkling lights spanning Stone Zoo's 26 acres. Take a sparkling stroll through festively decorated Yukon Creek, home to black bears, Canada lynx, reindeer and more. This year's event promises to enchant visitors of all ages with more twinkling lights and festive cheer.

Reserve a special "Santa Experience" on select nights (advance registration required, see tickets below), and meet Mrs. Claus as she strolls throughout the Zoo on select Tuesday and Thursday evenings – and on Christmas Eve!
