Oglebay Good Zoo has always gone all out for the holiday season, and this year is no exception. Let’s all bid a warm welcome to the new Arctic Express Expedition at Oglebay Good Zoo, a Christmas-themed ride through the zoo that’s an absolutely magical experience.

Come one, come all to Oglebay Good Zoo this holiday season! Christmas is a magical time to visit Oglebay. There are lights (so many beautiful lights!) here at Oglebay Good Zoo.

At the zoo alone, not counting all the twinkling displays at the Oglebay Resort itself, there are 40,000 choreographed lights set to flicker to famous rock Christmas tunes (Led Zeppelin, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, you get the picture). It's a Rockin' Holiday Light Show, indeed!
Santa himself hangs out here at the zoo all the time, and you can get your picture with him.

There's a holiday laser lights show at the Benedum Theater and Planetarium. Zebra smores are an actual thing you can make here.
