About this event
Wild Lights turns Riverbanks Zoo & Garden into a walk-through lantern festival with more than 60 handcrafted wildlife lanterns, nightly snowfall and photo spots. Santa visits run through the heart of the holiday season. It is a zoo-grounds lantern stroll rather than a drive-through light show.
Our take: Pair a Wild Lights evening with Fireflies Holiday Lights at Segra Park on another night for two very different light experiences.
