"There are lights everywhere, there’s live entertainment around every corner,” Scott Swenson, the Live Entertainment Coordinator for the event, said. "It’s just a new way to experience the zoo and its residents in a completely new light.”

The event features beautiful holiday music, festive live entertainment, and all kinds of holiday treats. The park is serving up a holiday feast complete with decadent desserts and specialty cocktails. 

You can also travel to Santa’s lodge while you’re there.

"You get to wonder through this beautiful grove of lit Christmas trees, then you get to meet several of Santa’s elves and then you get to meet the big man himself,” Swenson said.

While you’re there you can snap an “elfie” with Santa and the elves.

The park has nearly 300 decorated Christmas trees and is covered in Christmas lights for the event.
