Wild Holidays at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park

You found this. Be the first one here.

Out in the wide-open canyons of the Safari Park, the holidays go big. Wild Holidays wraps Escondido's sprawling wildlife park in lights and seasonal cheer, a more expansive, open-air counterpart to the Zoo's celebration, with animals, entertainment, and glittering displays spread across the park's rolling acres. Included with regular admission, it runs on select nights from November 27, 2026 through January 3, 2027. Come for a holiday outing that trades mall crowds for open sky and giraffes on the horizon, and make an afternoon of it before the lights come alive at dusk. Bring the family, bring warm layers, and let the kids run under the lights. It is the perfect antidote to a season that can feel like a to-do list, out where Southern California still feels wild.
