About this event
Phoenix Zoo presents an illuminated evening trail with light shows and seasonal installations. The published season runs November 25 through January 15, with visiting hours of 5:30–10:30 PM.
General tickets are advertised at $35; regular member tickets and selected Member Mondays have different prices and eligibility. Children two and under enter free. Most animals are not expected to be visible during this evening event. Sensory Friendly ZooLights on December 8 and Cruise ZooLights on January 17 require separate tickets, so they are not assumed to be included in ordinary public admission.

Registration & participation: Ordinary ZooLights tickets allow one visit on a public night in the season and are non-refundable. December 8 sensory-friendly admission and January 17 Cruise ZooLights need separate tickets.
