Celebrate the holiday season amid the brilliant hues of ZooLights.
More than a million LED lights transform the Oregon Zoo into a luminous winter wonderland filled with moving sculptures, forests of lighted trees and animal silhouettes. Cap off your visit by boarding the zoo's light-bedecked steamer train, which provides a unique view of the ZooLights splendor.
Guests may stay on zoo grounds for one hour after gate closing. The zoo offers group pricing and park packages that include admission and the train ride. ZooLights is free for zoo members at the Plus level or higher. Want to know more? Read the ZooLights FAQ.
