LA Zoo Lights: Animals Aglow 2026
When the sun drops behind the Griffith hills, the animals go to sleep and the zoo turns into something else entirely — a mile of illuminated trails, oversized lanterns shaped like creatures you just saw in the daytime, and the quiet realization that you're walking through a botanical garden at night with a hot chocolate.
LA Zoo Lights: Animals Aglow runs from November 13, 2026 through January 11, 2027 at the Los Angeles Zoo. After-dark entry transforms the grounds with custom-built animal-shaped lanterns, seasonal light installations, themed displays, and entertainment. Closed most Mondays and Tuesdays, plus December 24-25 and December 31.
Los Angeles Zoo, 5333 Zoo Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027. Tickets $19-$29 at lazoo.org.
This is the holiday outing that makes people who normally avoid holiday outings say yes. The zoo after dark feels nothing like the zoo during the day.
