Take in a night of brilliant colors at Milwaukee Zoo’s Wild Lights

Early-bird tickets are still available for Wild Lights at the Milwaukee County Zoo. After sundown through the month of December, the zoo will become a bright, colorful spectacle decorated with millions of sparkling lights and illuminated animal displays.

Between 5:30 and 9:30 p.m., visitors can stroll a one-mile path taking them through areas like “Jungle Bells” — sponsored by North Shore Bank, filled with apes and other primates — the Winter Woodland, Starry Safari, and many more. It will be not unlike a walk through a giant snow globe.

Interested in an enchanted evening away from the kids? On Thursday and Friday, December 8 and 9, the Cheers! Wild Lights experience will be open for adults only and is presented by North Shore Bank.

Get early-bird tickets for only $15/person through tomorrow, Friday, November 18. After tomorrow, online prices go up to $18 for adults and teenagers and $16 for children 3 through 12; or $20 and $18 at the door. Kids 2 and under get in free. Admission includes parking. The event will be closed on December 5, 6, 12, 13, 24, and 25. More info on Wild Lights here, and on Cheers! Wild Lights here.
