L.A. Zoo Lights returns with new glowing sculptures, lanterns, lights and projections. The 2026 theme takes guests through a world of plants, pollinators and nature past and present, with larger-than-life birds, butterflies, insects, flowers, marine creatures and Ice Age giants. Extras include an artificial ice-skating rink (separate ticket), Santa Claus photos (extra fee, select days), carousel rides, s'mores, churros and hot cocoa, and seasonal carolers on select nights. The experience takes 60 to 90 minutes. Special nights: Sensory-Inclusive Zoo Lights on December 8 and Pride Night on December 17. Free parking.
