LA Zoo Lights is back!

Now through January 5th you can experience a wild wonderland of light at LA Zoo Lights! Glowing animals welcome you on an unforgettable nighttime journey that includes the world's largest illuminated pop-up storybook, a magical disco ball forest, giant glittering snowflakes, and a twinkling tunnel filled with dynamic swirls of color.
