Dallas Zoo Lights will open tonight and will run through January 2, 2022

Whiz through the zoo, with the family in the sled … okay, the SUV, oh what fun it is to ride along and enjoy millions of lights! This year’s Dallas Zoo Lights, presented by Reliant, will provide additional shine in 2021. This drive-thru event has grown over the years and is great fun for the whole family. From the friendly smiles that light up the main entrance of the Park and Smile Reliant Holiday Village, this family-friendly event lights up the faces of all ages.

With a million twinkling lights, the zoo looks magical from your own vehicle. The ride is not only relaxed, but also comfortable with all-round photos. Hearing the holiday tunes around 1680 morning gave way to some favorite performances, including the pink flamingos, arctic polar bears, and dinosaur territories.

This is not just a typical vacation light display, but a fun trip with laser light and a 3D video experience. Little kids will love the special time with Santa and older kids of all ages will love the fun photo ops to light up their social posts while on vacation.
