Tickets officially on sale for Zoo Lights at Denver Zoo
DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Denver Zoo is bringing holiday magic come to life through its annual Zoo Lights exhibition.
This year, the zoo will be transformed into a winter wonderland through more than 2 million LED lights that'll illuminate 80 acres.
According to the Denver Zoo, proceeds from Zoo Light tickets will go towards supporting the zoo's effort to save wildlife in Colorado and around the world.
Zoo officials said guests will find surprises around every corner including live ice-caring exhibitions with local artists; seasonal craft cocktails and holiday treats; and cozy fire barrels.
Special add-on packages will be available to enhance the Zoo Light experience including the Zoo it All Pass, Zoo Lights Passport, and Glow Package, which offers custom HoloSpex 3D glasses and a reusable souvenir mug filled with hot chocolate or cider.
Since 2005, officials said the zoo has reduced its energy consumption by 78% during Zoo Lights since switching to LED lights, zoo officials said.
Due to popular demand, zoo officials said guests can experience Zoo Lights until Jan. 15. Tickets are on sale for $25 for adults, $15 for children ages 3 and up, and free for children 2 and under (required to be booked online).
