Holiday Nights

SAVE THE DATES!

Fridays and Saturdays, December 1-16 | 5-8 p.m.

Enjoy a festive and fun after-hours stroll amid sparkling displays of holiday lights that transform the zoo into a winter wonderland. Warm up by the fire pits and enjoy hot chocolate, s’mores, live performances of holiday music, ice carving, roving entertainers and animals on evening exhibit.

In the spirit of the season, the Friends Zoo United campaign pledged to donate $1 from every hot cocoa purchased at Holiday Nights to United Way of Central New York.

We are happy to announce after serving an incredible 120 gallons of hot cocoa during Holiday Nights we will be donating $1,542!
