The Miller Park Zoo is inviting families and community members to experience its annual Wild Lights event this December. Set to take place on December 6th, 7th, 13th, and 14th, the event will run from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM each evening, offering a festive and family-friendly atmosphere for all ages.
This beloved holiday tradition will see the zoo beautifully decorated with sparkling lights and holiday displays, creating a magical experience for guests. In addition to the light displays, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, including a chance to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, local vendor booths, and tasty concessions available for purchase. A highlight of the event will be the opportunity for families to make their own s’mores at the zoo, with s’mores kits available for just $3 each.
“The Zoo’s Wild Lights event is always a community favorite,” said Silvia Schuh, the Events and Volunteer Coordinator for Miller Park Zoo. “Seeing the zoo illuminated at night with all the decorations is a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season.”
Tickets for the event are $10 per person (ages 3 and up), with a discounted rate of $5 for MPZ Society members. Children aged two and under can enjoy the event for free. Tickets are available for advance purchase either on-site at the Zoo or by calling (309) 434-2250.
