About this adventure

Zoo Lights: Magic in the Wild at the Palm Beach Zoo illuminates 23 lush tropical acres with more than one million eco-friendly LED lights and radiant wildlife lanterns. Families embark on an evening nature stroll along quiet botanical paths to encounter life-sized illuminated jaguars, glowing lemurs, dazzling flamingo flocks, and a new bioluminescent forest finale. While daytime animals sleep, the zoo's ancient banyans and tranquil ponds shimmer with synchronized color changes. Children can visit Santa's festive cottage inside the fountain plaza, decorate holiday sugar cookies, and roast sweet marshmallows over outdoor s'mores fire pits. Paved asphalt and timber boardwalks make pushing strollers and wagons smooth and quiet. Timed-entry reservations are strictly required; on-site zoo parking is complimentary for all guests.
