It’s hard to believe that we’re already midway through December! Which means there’s not much time left to cross things off your holiday to-do list. We know it can be overwhelming trying to make sure the holidays live up to the magic we all love to experience- but remember that at the end of the day it’s all about family, friends, and making memories. That’s why we love making Bronx Zoo Holiday Lights a part of our holiday tradition- there’s nothing like spending quality time with loved ones and exploring outdoors- all right here in the Bronx! Not to mention, each year they add new features to experience so that you can keep going back year after year.

Holiday Lights Check List
This year’s Holiday Lights walk-through experience is bigger and brighter than ever, so we don’t want you to miss anything when you visit. To make it easy, here’s a checklist of some of what’s new and exciting for your upcoming visit:
☐ Forest of Color: We loved this brand new safari featuring 21 larger-than-life lanterns of species that sport some of the brightest colors on Earth
☐ Astor Court Light Show: This new immersive LED light show and musical performance lights up Astor Court, complete with stilt-walkers who entertain and even pose for photos
☐ Illuminated Tunnel: Be sure to walk through this dazzling, immersive LED tunnel. Hint: Great photo opp for a family selfie.
☐ Holiday Train: Finally back from 2019, little ones will love this train ride through Astor Court
☐ Fire Pits for S’mores: What kid doesn’t love roasting marshmallows for s’mores? They’ve added even more stations this year, so grab some hot cocoa and enjoy some time by the fire.
☐ Wildlife Lanterns & Safaris: This year there are 79 new wildlife animal lanterns that represent 30 new animal species. These can be seen within the illuminated lantern safaris that take you on a trip around the world to Africa, Asia, North America, Latin America, the Ocean and into a forested wonderland.
