The Cincinnati Zoo is shining bright for the 43rd annual PNC Festival of Lights! Come early to see more animals and stay for the lights!
In addition to admiring the beauty of 5 million LED lights, visitors can find the 5 Fiona fairies in Fairyland, take in a blacklight puppet show, marvel at the spectacular Wild Lights on Swan Lake, or snack at one of our seasonal concessions.
The Zoo is closed on Thanksgiving (November 27), Christmas Eve (December 24), and Christmas Day (December 25).
