Oakland Zoo Set to Plug in ZooLights! December 4, 2009 - January 3, 2010

Family, friends, and ZooLights are a great way to turn on your holiday spirit! Holiday music will fill the air as guests mingle among hundreds of thousands of energy-efficient LED lights.

So, grab a cup of hot cocoa and feast your eyes on more than 120 lighted animal structures. Don’t miss the ZooLights meadow show with music provided by Movin’ 99.7 and orchestrated by Impact Lighting.

Embark on a more relaxed ZooLights experience and board the Snowball Express, a miniature C.P. Huntington steam engine train. The Zoo’s famous train ride is popular among the young and the young at heart! Let your holiday spirit take you away as you see breathtaking views of the Bay Area while winding around the Oakland Zoo after dark.

End the evening in the Oakland Zoo’s Rides Area where children will especially enjoy a fantasyland of giant toy soldiers, with over-sized candy canes, lollipops, and gingerbread cookies. The holiday season may even bring out the kid in you…take a twirl on the carousel! Oakland Zoo’s ZooLights is the largest LED light festival in Northern California!
