A South Florida Zoo Will Turn Into A Wild Glowing Wonderland For The Holiday Season
There's no place like home for the holidays they say, but experiencing the best of Christmas cheer in Florida comes in the form of events and seas of lights. If you're looking for places to experience the magic of the holidays in Florida, the Zoo Lights at Zoo Miami event may just be your ticket.
Zoo Miami will be taken over by over half a million lights and animal-shaped lanterns this holiday season with twinkling trails for you to explore. It'd make a great idea for a date night, as you walk under the canopies of trees wrapped in lights that will make you feel like you're in a Hallmark Movie.
The lights serve as the perfect backdrop for your photos, adding a sprinkle of the spirit of Christmas to your Floridian Insta-feed. Aside from the sights & photo ops, visitors will be able to snack on seasonal treats like crunchy cookies & cozy hot chocolates.
Further adding fun to the festivities are themed nights, which encourage visitors to dress up and participate in special activities related to the theme. The themed evenings include PJ & Onesie, Galactic (Star Wars, Star Trek, & Guardians of the Galaxy), Super Hero, and Santa & Elf nights. You can see the dates for each night here.
Tickets to the Zoo Lights festivities at Zoo Miami are surprisingly affordable too at only $15.95 per person. Additional packages that include food & drinks and photos are also available for purchase.
