About this event
Zoo Lights, presented by Our Lady of the Lake Children's Health, sends families along a trail of thousands of twinkling lights at BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo, a cherished holiday tradition in Baton Rouge. On Fridays and Saturdays before Christmas, Santa visits in Classroom 3 at the new entrance, and the Flamingo Café serves specialty holiday items alongside its regular menu. Animal viewing is limited because many animals are inside for the night, and the train doesn't run.
Our take: A non-perishable food item for the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank gets you 50% off admission.
Parking
Zoo admission: adults and teens $10, seniors 65 and up $8.50, children 2–12 $7, plus tax; 1 and under free. The lights stay on in the rain; no refunds or rain checks.
Good to know
Nightly, admission 5:30pm–8pm, grounds close 9pm; closed Dec 24–25
