Zoo Lights

When it comes to holiday lights, the zoo goes wild. One million bright, animal-shaped lights illuminate the premise during Zoo Lights Miami, which takes place every weekend between November 24th and December 30th. Families can stroll around while sipping hot chocolate and listening to carollers and if you're lucky, you might just get a glimpse of Santa – or The Grinch. Check the Zoo Miami website to see what the theme is for the weekend (Galactic night should be interesting) and don't miss Canine Champions for Conservation, a high energy nightly dog show staring rescues doing some pretty cool tricks. The event kicks off on November 24th with a tree lighting by Miami's most famous wildlife enthusiast, Ron Magill.
