U.S. Bank Wild Lights at the Saint Louis Zoo

About this adventure

U.S. Bank Wild Lights brings the Saint Louis Zoo to life after dark with hundreds of thousands of twinkling LED lights and magnificent custom animated light sculptures of penguins, giraffes, lions, and sea lions throughout the historic Forest Park campus. While outdoor animal viewing is limited due to bedtime, kids can explore the heated indoor Herpetarium and Insectarium, ride the Mary Ann Lee Endangered Species Carousel, roast gooey marshmallows at s'mores stations, and catch a special winter movie in the 4D Holiday Theater. Strolling holiday characters and live acoustic music fill the evening with cheer. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: The entire zoo walking route is paved and ADA compliant, making strollers and wagons very easy to maneuver. • Restrooms & Family Amenities: Heated indoor family restrooms equipped with baby-changing tables are available throughout the zoo (Lakeside Cafe, Herpetarium, Welcome Center). A designated Nursing Room is located at the Welcome Center. • Sensory Tips: Sensory backpacks equipped with noise-canceling headphones and fidget toys can be borrowed for free at Guest Relations. • Age Suitability: Wonderful for all ages; carousel rides and 4D theater shows are included with every event ticket.
