This holiday season offers the last opportunity to bask in the glow of the Wild Animal Park’s Festival of Lights! Next year, the event will move to the Zoo under the new name Jungle Bells. So this December, on the 20th anniversary of the first winter lights at the Park, gather the family and visit for the final Festival of Lights celebration.
Brand-new holiday and animal-themed light features created specifically for the Wild Animal Park will set the atmosphere for family fun, which includes Snow Hill (open daily, 4–8:30 p.m.), new craft activities, a Light Magic Show in Discovery Station, and a Black Light Puppet Show in Benbough Amphitheater.
Youngsters can also chat with Santa in Discovery Station. He will be visiting on December 13–23, 5–9 p.m. (as well as on Thanksgiving weekend, November 28, 29, and 30, from 11 a.m.–5 p.m.) Another festive favorite, the Winter Princess, will spread some sparkling cheer. Of course, we haven’t forgotten the animals! Special presentations with our animal ambassadors will take place throughout the Park’s Nairobi Village, and you can enjoy a winter’s eve Journey into Africa tour (last tour departs at 8:15 p.m.).
During this 20th and final year, join us at the Park for the warm glow of the holidays with lights and laughter!
