For 33 years, Zoo Lights has been the heart of your holidays. Now, with 80 acres boasting over three million lights, we’re still the one making spirits bright. We’re still your fave for family fun. We’re still the place where tradition stands tall, where romance runs wild-and where our sparkling features spark your brilliant smiles! 

This year, there’s more magic than ever-including new animated light sculptures, returning favorites, nightly ice-carving exhibitions and festive seasonal treats. And of course, it’s all happening at Denver Zoo! So there’s a good chance you’ll get to encounter an elephant, enjoy a tall boy with a giraffe or say hello to a hippo.
