BRONX, N.Y. – September 10, 2024 — Tickets go on sale today for the holiday season with New York City’s favorite festive tradition: Holiday Lights at the Bronx Zoo.
During select evenings from November 22 through January 5, the park is illuminated as millions of lights and hundreds of lanterns bring majestic animals and wild places to life. Proudly sponsored by Con Edison, Holiday Lights is an immersive, walkthrough experience that is perfect for all ages and guaranteed to bring lasting holiday memories for families.
Spread across seven different lantern trails, the lights demonstrate nearly 100 animal and plant species to connect guests to wildlife and wild places that WCS staff works to protect through field programs around the world, and at the WCS zoos and aquarium right here in New York. From North America to Africa to oceans, guests will be enchanted by the millions of twinkling lights as they explore each path and the magic of the holiday cheer and celebrations.
New this year, visitors will delight in new interactive glowing walls, six 12-foot interactive trees, and illuminated flowers to explore and play with light. Guests can get into the seasonal spirit with help from snow and bubble machines. The festival also features plenty of family-friendly entertainment, seasonal treats and classic holiday music.
This year’s Holiday Lights festivities include:
