Dazzling displays, festive treats, warm beverages and holiday activities light up the Akron Zoo this season, with Santa and Wild Lights “Wow!” moments throughout the park. Wild Lights runs 5–9 p.m. on select nights: Nov. 20–21, Nov. 27–28, Dec. 4–5, Dec. 11–13, Dec. 18–23 and Dec. 26–27. The event is closed on all other dates, including Dec. 24–25.

Tickets are $20–$27 for adults and $16–$23 for children. Akron Zoo members pay $16–$23 for adults, and member children are free. Dates can sell out, so buy tickets in advance. Library passes are not valid. Zoothing Wild Lights, a quieter night for guests with different abilities, requires separate tickets, and private Wild Lights Safari and Santa Express golf-cart tours must be reserved at least 48 hours ahead.
