DENVER — With the holidays right around the corner, the Denver Zoo will be presenting its annual Zoo Lights exhibition for the 32nd year from Dec. 3 to Jan. 15.
This year, the installations will feature more than 2 million LED lights sparkling over 80 acres, with new installations added including Aurora Borealis, Savannah Sunset, and Electric Jungle.

Zoo Lights at the Denver Zoo
The Zoo Lights exhibition is scheduled to be open Sunday through Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. All ages are welcome.
In addition, a special low-sensory night for Zoo Lights will be offered on Dec. 31 for those more sensitive to environmental stimuli. It will feature reduced crowds, no strobing effects, music played at low volumes and quiet rooms for anyone who may need to step away from the excitement. Attractions will be modified and sensory kits will be available for check-out at no additional cost.
