Get ready for a wonderland of illuminated lanterns and holiday magic when discovering the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden’s all new SAFARI LIGHTS presented by OG&E. This annual light celebration is the perfect holiday outing for friends and families continuing a tradition or creating a new one as they explore the OKC Zoo with both a driving tour and walking experience.
OKC ZOO SAFARI LIGHTS begins Saturday, November 9 and runs nightly through New Year’s Day, Wednesday, January 1, 2025, from 5:30 to 11 p.m. nightly with the last check in at 10 p.m., offering opportunities for a driving tour through the Zoo and fun walking trail featuring various interactive displays.
From the comfort of their cars, guests will enjoy views of vibrant, larger-than-life lanterns inspired by wildlife and wild places, plus whimsical winter and holiday scenes as they drive a guided path through the park. After the driving tour, patrons may park and re-enter the Zoo for an additional walking experience highlighting more light displays and a variety of fun, interactives that guests of all ages can engage. The walking course begins in the Zoo’s entry plaza with a musical light show and winds through the Children’s Zoo presented by Primrose Schools and outside of the Jungle Gym Playground promising memorable (and Instagrammable) moments along the way!
The Zoo’s Safari Gifts will be open during SAFARI LIGHTS where shoppers will find the state’s largest selection of plush animals, nature-inspired gifts, and exclusive “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas” apparel and collectibles. A festive selection of delicious treats and eats will also be available for purchase during SAFARI LIGHTS. Select Zoo concessions will be open and offering specialty beverages, light dinner options, s’more kits, savory snacks, and new desserts like flamingo fries (funnel cake strips topped with pink icing, sprinkles, and a candy flamingo), only found at the OKC Zoo!
OKC ZOO SAFARI LIGHTS will be open on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. The estimated time to complete the driving tour is 20 minutes.
