PHOENIX — ZooLights is returning to the Phoenix Zoo this week and will be debuting some new features.

The LED-powered digital tree will be displayed on the zoo’s main lake and showcase a light show every 15 minutes.
Also new will be the Polar Park, which will feature s’mores pits, glow swings, photos with Santa, and food and beverage options.
The 31st iteration of the event will again see the zoo transformed into a lights display that includes animal sculptures and musical exhibits. Oh, and don’t forget about the camel rides.
