CLEVELAND — It's that time of year again! Wild Winter Lights is back at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo for the 2024 holiday season!
The event runs on select dates from Tuesday, Nov. 12, through Monday, Dec. 30, featuring more than 1.5 million lights across several holiday-themed areas of the zoo, which include Enchanted Forest, Swan Lake, Candy Lane and Polar Pathway. There's also Santa's North Pole Lodge where guests can take photos with Santa Claus himself.
As in previous years, there will be walk-through and drive-through dates for those who want to experience the event on foot or from the warmth of their own vehicle.
“This year guests will experience over a dozen walk-through displays, including larger-than-life holiday favorites,” said Kelly Manderfield, Cleveland Metroparks Chief Marketing Officer. “Wild Winter Lights continues to be a timeless holiday tradition, and we are grateful to our community partners who help bring the holidays to life at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.”
