Wild Lights
Stroll through illuminated animal habitats at Milwaukee County Zoo during the holiday season.
Wild Lights transforms the Milwaukee Zoo into a glowing winter wonderland on select evenings. You'll stroll through themed zones decorated with holiday lights while experiencing the magic of the season. Want to skip the walking? Hop aboard the North Shore Bank Safari Train for a scenic ride, or let the kids spin on the Penzeys Carousel (weather permitting). If you prefer to stay warm, choose one of three drive-thru nights where you'll experience the light displays from your vehicle at your own pace.
This event offers something for everyone. Families with young children will love the carousel and train rides, while those seeking a cozy outing can enjoy the drive-thru option. The zoo also hosts special themed nights: an adults-only evening on December 10 featuring cocktails and live entertainment, and a Dogs After Dark night on December 16 where you can bring your furry friend along. Tickets are available online with pricing that varies by date. Zoo members receive a 20% discount when purchasing through the member portal.
