Went for the free Christmas light walk through a portion of the zoo. It is a short walk through the lights that starts at the main entrance and lets out on the side of the park. Forewarning, parking at the zoo costs $22. But there is neighborhood space around if you're willing to look. A little underwhelming and you have to walk back through the lights to get back to the front, or go around on the main street. They sell alcohol during the walk so that is a plus! Couldn't see any animals because it was dark out and they are all asleep. You do walk past the monkey area so there is a possibility! It is still a fun event, and free, so grab some friends and go!
Went there this winter in December. They had this great light show going on and it was a first snow as well! So the whole thing was just amazing! So many light, decorations and even couple snow slopes;) small ones, for the kids
Bundle up and enjoy the holiday lights guiding the Zoo pathway. This is great for all ages. Warm up and enjoy the exhibit halls that are open. They even have hot chocolate & kettle-corn you can buy to help warm up. Admission is free. Onsite parking is overpriced at $22. Metro stations are also nearby. Would love a slow moving tram or train to bring folks back up that big west side hill & it would also be another wonderful way to experience the lights.
Fantastic place for kids and adults. Free admission. Many great animals to see. You can easily spend a day here. Street parking is free or you can park at the zoo for $20 or so. Great panda bears area. Many learning areas for kids. Make sure to bring quarters and pennies if you want to make commemorative coins. Check their website for special events.
Wonderful zoo, one of the best I've been to on 3 continents. There are towers above you where the orangutans swing between! A carousel for the kids, multi animal-themed of course. There's good food and beer, that's the adult-themed part I suppose. They have giant pandas and Asian elephants! Very impressive.
