Dec 7 – Jan 5
Thousands of LED lights will transform the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens into a luminous winter wonderland filled with moving sculptures, forests of lighted trees and animal silhouettes. In addition to walking among the thousands of lights strung throughout the zoo and listening to spirited holiday music, guests can enjoy a unique view of ZOOLights by boarding the zoo’s lighted train (the train only runs from the back of the zoo to the front). Guests can also enjoy carousel rides, the 4-D Theater, marshmallow roasting and more for an extra charge.
New this year are an aquatic area, Christmas tree forest, stage production, and weekend entertainment. The zoo closes at 5 p.m. and will re-open for ZOOLights at 6 p.m.
Sunday – Thursday 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Friday & Saturday 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Main Camp to Asian Gardens, Jacksonville Zoo & Gardens, 370 Zoo Pkwy.
