Phoenix ZooLights returns to Valley in November with drive-thru concept

PHOENIX — With the holiday season approaching, more festivities are underway across the Valley.

The popular Phoenix ZooLights will return Nov. 24 through Jan. 15, with two ways to experience the magic.

Visitors can choose between the classic walk-through journey or a socially distanced cruise through the zoo from their own car. Tickets went on sale Friday.

The Phoenix Zoo first introduced the drive-thru concept to guests last year with Cruise the Zoo. It has been transformed to fit their annual holiday event.

The events will take place on separate, select nights. Gate times vary for each event.

Guests attending ZooLights on foot or by car will see millions of lights and hundreds of displays.

Attendees can also meet Santa for a photo, and for a chance to send their letters to Santa. Photos captured with the holiday icon can be pre-purchased.
