Another fun idea to welcome in the holidays.

The Oakland Zoo has morphed into a magical wonderland filled with lights, sights, and sounds of the holiday season. Hundreds of thousands of LED lights brighten Oakland’s night sky.

Some highlights include a candy cane lane themed rides area, a night time adventure on the Outback Express train, rocking around the Christmas trees in the Children’s Zoo, and a light show. And the Zoo elves have decked the halls of the Reptile Room with mistletoe and all things jolly.

This family-friendly event goes on till January 1, but the Zoo is closed on December 24 & 25 so the staff can celebrate the holiday.
