This is the Oregon Zoo’s 25th anniversary of Zoo Lights.
With more than a million led lights, this will be sure to put a twinkle in your eye that will make you feel like a kid again. The Zoo Lights has become a truly magical place that for a few hours will take you right back to your childhood and have you skipping and shouting right there with your kids..”ooooh look at that!!!” and “WOW!!! this is amazing”.
They still have you favorites.. (mine is the inch worm) and a few new surprises sprinkled about. You will want to make sure to hop on the train as this is the last year of this particular route. Things will be shifting around due to the expansion of the elephant exhibit.
