Wild Lights at the Milwaukee County Zoo

Wild Lights at the Milwaukee County Zoo transforms the zoo into a winter wonderland after the sun sets. Families can walk through the grounds to see glowing holiday displays featuring animal themes, twinkling lights along the pathways and wooded areas, and festive scenes throughout the property. Weather permitting, kids can enjoy rides on the North Shore Bank Safari Train or Penzeys Carousel for added seasonal fun. The event runs select nights from late November through December, with the zoo open from early evening until 9 p.m. (last entry at 8:15 p.m.). Bundle up for a cozy evening outdoors as your family explores the illuminated zoo together.
