Zoo Lights at Zoo Miami

Some resident “animals” at Zoo Miami get a holiday sprucing up during the attraction's annual Zoo Lights event, which is offered on select nights from November 29 through December 30, 2024. If you buy your tickets before November 28, you can get a discount.

Families and children of all ages are invited to immerse themselves in the 3D experience that includes animal-shaped light displays, with more than 1 million bright and dazzling lights!

The daily event hours are 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
