Every Christmas, Jeremy and I make a point to go to the Memphis Zoo for Zoo Lights. We bundle up and stroll around the Memphis Zoo admiring the Christmas light displays. Even though most of the animals are inside sleeping, there is no shortage of fun things to do. You're able to see the nocturnal animals up and about and there's even a special visit from Santa's reindeer!
To get even more in the Christmas spirit, you could strap on some ice skates and take a spin at Memphis Zoo on Ice, the only tented outdoor ice rink in town.
Zoo Lights is going on now through December 30, 2013.

Love this. There are a few local zoos who do the same in my area but I've never been. They are free too so I pobably should take a trip. Hope you both had fun!
ReplyDeleteHey there, I am Aileen and I stumbled upon your blog -- and love it! I have an interest in adventure blogs since I also am (kinda) the same.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, these photos are lovely! I haven't experienced real winter season yet, but this entry of yours just makes me feel the christmas season drawing nearer and nearer <3
How much is admission to Zoo Lights? It looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome!!! My husband and I are taking his brother and gf to the zoo lights here in Portland. I'm so excited! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe've been to Zoo Lights a couple of times. It's not our favorite, but it's definitely something different and festive to do.
