Elmwood Park Zoo is pleased to announce the return of its holiday lights event, Wild Lights, for its fourth consecutive year. Debuting in 2018, this beautiful and bright event is now a highly-anticipated annual celebration for families in the Greater Philadelphia region.

Wild Lights transforms the zoo into a dazzling holiday wonderland, with thousands of lights adorning the trees, exhibits, and buildings throughout the zoo’s entire 16 acres. 

Tickets are on sale now for select dates, beginning November 19 and running through December 30th. Tickets can be purchased in person or online here.

As in previous years, the zoo has made new additions to its featured lighted attractions and decor installations.

Most nights of Wild Lights will also feature wild animal encounters, live performances, live DJs, photos with Santa, carousel rides, and more.

Photos with Santa are sponsored by Children’s Dental Health.
