Families stroll through immersive zones featuring glowing desert bighorn sheep, a magnificent bioluminescent ocean tunnel with vibrant jellyfish and moving sea turtles, glowing rainforest toucans, and a 90-foot-long illuminated light dragon. Kids can dance along color-reactive light pads, take photos inside a life-sized kaleidoscope light portal, and enjoy hot cocoa, churros, and seasonal s'mores by warming fire pits. Please note this is an evening lantern art experience and resident zoo animals are resting in their night quarters. ## Similar picks in Los Angeles - [LA Zoo Lights: Animals Aglow](https://grassyknees.com/los-angeles/activities/la-zoo-lights-animals-aglow--listing-f15985e841d3afdd260a1047) — Nov 20 – Nov 29 · 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens · All ages · From $29 · checked Nov 7.
