See the Oregon Zoo in a New Light at ZooLights

Zoolights_train_small

From Nov. 27 - Jan. 3, the Oregon Zoo will be transformed into a winter wonderland, aglow with a million lights. See the animated animals swing through trees, hide in bushes and appear in places where they're least expected.

Not all of the zoo is open. Only a few of the animals will be visible. ZooLights will be closed Dec. 24-25. Visit http://www.oregonzoo.org/Events/ZooLights/index.htm for times and pricing information.
