We are back, and so is Zoo Lights at the LA Zoo! This is an annual tradition for theFUNnelCakeBlog, and we were pleased to see several new displays and exhibits at this year’s event. We went on a cold weeknight and the crowd was light and enjoyable. Note: the animals are no on exhibit during the event, but there is plenty to see and several snack and drink options. MAKE SURE TO CHECK LAZOO.ORG to see current LA City health protocols and requirements prior to purchasing a ticket and/or visiting.
L.A. Zoo Lights returns for the 2021-22 season and we’re glad to welcome you back with more glowing animals and 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. L.A. Zoo Lights is a not-to-be-missed holiday light experience and has glowed brighter each year since its debut in 2014. This year’s event features more light animals than ever before, spectacular new additions – both hand-crafted and high-tech – and returning favorites.
