|  |  WildlightsWildlights is Columbus Zoo's annual celebration of winter. Every evening for over a month, the zoo sparkles with more than two million twinkling lights. A wide range of family-led activities, including horse-drawn wagon rides, keeps visitors amused.Daily entertainment includes music and children's activities, while there are themed events on specific dates throughout December. Kwanzaa honours African-American heritage, while Santa Paws is an enriching activity to keep the animals in the holiday spirit with specially-wrapped treats.
Towards the end of December, Wild Ice features an ice show and over 100 animal ice sculptures. Visitors can take a twirl on the zoo's ice skating rink or a magical ride on the fully-restored 1914 Mangels-Illions carousel. Santa Claus himself is available to meet the children and for family snaps.
Please note: the zoo is closed on 27 November and 24/25 December. Please visit their website for comprehensive details of this year's programme. |
