About this adventure
For one night the Phoenix Zoo turns ZooLights into a drive-through: families stay in their car and roll through an immersive light tunnel, past illuminated animal sculptures and millions of lights, and watch the Lake Lights Show on the main lake. It suits families with babies, toddlers who tire on the walking route, or anyone who prefers to stay warm and seated. Tickets are per vehicle and sold only in advance online, in two time blocks (Early Bird 5:30–7:30 pm, Night Owl 7:30–9:30 pm); cars in line are served first come, first served and must be in line by 9:30 pm. A souvenir digital photo is included. Pets are not allowed in vehicles, and there is no walk-through access that night; glow merchandise, treats and drinks are sold in the parking lot beforehand.
