Description
Step into the Lehigh Valley Zoo’s Winter Light Spectacular, where 1.2 million twinkling lights transform the zoo into a glowing holiday oasis. Recognized by *USA Today* as one of America’s must-see light displays, this walk-through event blends festive fun with a mission to protect wildlife. Wander through tunnels of color, illuminated animal sculptures, and classic Christmas scenes while snowflakes sparkle overhead. Warm your hands by crackling fire pits, sip hot cocoa, or enjoy gourmet tacos and donuts from local vendors. Families can visit Santa’s photo area through December 23, meet beloved princesses like Elsa and Rapunzel, and take magical selfies at glowing light installations. Upgrade to VIP status for access to the Jingle Lodge Lounge—complete with unlimited cocoa, toppings bar, souvenir tumbler, ornament keepsake, and a cozy indoor retreat from the chill. Proceeds from this 501(c)(3) non-profit event directly support the zoo’s year-round conservation programs. Whether you’re creating new family traditions or reliving childhood memories, the Winter Light Spectacular is a radiant celebration of wildlife, community, and the joy of the season.
