Watch your family’s eyes light up as they walk through an immersive winter wonderland of over 260 wildlife lanterns that represent more than 66 animal and plant species. Lanterns are spread across five outdoor trails throughout the zoo—Africa, Asia, North America, Latin America, and Ocean, connecting visitors to the real wildlife and wild places that Wildlife Conservation Society staff works to protect through their field programs around the world and in their zoos and aquarium in New York. Plus, discover the brand new Forest of Color, featuring 21 larger-than-life lanterns of species that sport some of the brightest colors on Earth.

Take in the fresh air as you enjoy over 12 acres of Holiday Lights outdoor festivities on the beautiful grounds of the Bronx Zoo. And when it snows, see how the park transforms into a beautiful winter wonderland.

Taste delicious seasonal treats like s’mores, hot cocoa, and zeppoles as you stroll through the park. This year, the number of fire pits has increased, and new premium toppings are now available that you can add for an extra delicious treat. 

Feel the excitement as you and your family enjoy thrilling entertainment including ice sculpting competitions, immersive light displays, kid’s favorite holiday train, amazing animal-themed stilt walkers, and so much more.
