I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
The winter season is upon us. Even here in sunny Southern California, the changing of seasons has us thinking of hats and scarves, hot cocoa, trips to the snow, and various wintery traditions. Among the things that most of us have come to anticipate and thoroughly enjoy each winter season are the colorful lights that seem to spring up all around us. One particular light festival in Los Angeles has families excited again this year.
Every year the already lively Los Angeles Zoo is transformed and comes to life in a whole new way after hours. This year, from November 18, 2022, through January 22, 2023, L.A. Zoo Lights presents “Animals Aglow.”
This LED light festival celebrates nature in a fun, unique, and inspiring way. It turns dedicated areas of the zoo into a stunning display of lantern sculptures.
During this after-hours event, live animals are tucked away in their night quarters, but giant alligators, peacocks, and other creatures will delight visitors as they explore the zoo.
Many of the displays are animated, adding to the enchanting landscape. Visitors of all ages will love the interactive light displays and the many fun opportunities for selfies and family pics, from a wisteria tunnel to trees that change colors with the beat of a drum.
As you wander, there is plenty of festive food, snacks, and drinks, including delicious hot cocoa to keep you warm, available to enjoy during your evening at the zoo. You can also purchase sweets and gifts to take home with you.
L.A. Zoo Lights is designed for everyone, including kids of all ages, to enjoy. Get your tickets, get the family bundled up, and head to what is sure to be a very memorable experience.
