Zoo Miami 6:30 PM
When it comes to holiday lights, the zoo goes wild. One million bright, animal-shaped lights illuminate the premises during Zoo Lights Miami, which takes on select dates through December 30. 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 the new animated special “Jingle Paws & Santa Claws” at the Sami Family Amphitheater (7:30 and 8:30pm showtimes). There will be rides, a 26-foot holiday tree, themed photo spots, character meet-and-greets and a station for writing letters to Santa, just in case he hasn't already gotten the message.
