Visitors can choose between a relaxing drive-thru path through the zoo's outer roads or an immersive, illuminated walk-thru course winding past shimmering illuminated animal lanterns. The walk-thru showcases larger-than-life handcrafted silk lanterns depicting cheetahs, towering giraffes, sea turtles, and majestic elephants, alongside interactive illuminated stepping pads and musical light tunnels. Children can roast s'mores over outdoor fire pits, snap photos with wandering holiday mascots, and sip peppermint cocoa while watching synchronized light shows reflecting across the zoo's central lake. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved, wide walking paths are fully accessible for strollers, double wagons, and wheelchairs throughout the walk-thru zone. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated nursing rooms and family restrooms with changing stations are available near the zoo entrance and inside the Canopy Restaurant. • Age Suitability: Captivating for all ages, with drive-thru options offering an easy warm experience for infants and toddlers. • Sensory Tips: Walk-thru displays include animated glowing lights and ambient music; the drive-thru option provides sensory control with vehicle radio volume adjustments. ## Similar picks in Oklahoma City - [Midwest City Holiday Lights Spectacular](https://grassyknees.com/oklahoma-city/activities/midwest-city-holiday-lights-spectacular--listing-fd6e2cd71a1a81a08edd084d) — Nov 20 – Dec 25 · 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM · Joe B.
