Event Details:

" 'Twas the Lights Before Christmas and here at the zoo, the sun's brightly shining and there's so much to do..."

Every holiday season the Zoo's horticulture staff hangs up over 1 million Christmas lights throughout the zoo grounds. If you've ever wondered "how do they get the lights on the Big Tree" or "what do they do with all of the lights for the rest of the year" this is your chance to find out!

Join us to learn how to put up (and more importantly, put away) Christmas lights like a pro as we explore the ins and outs of LBC .
