We went to the Zoo Lights around Christmas time when visiting family, and it was an amazing time. The lights were beautiful, the themes were great, and the length of time it took to do the entire walk was not overwhelming. It was great for both kids and adults alike. Now I just have to go during the day for the next visit to see the actual animals, lol.
