Zoo Lights presented by Florida Power & Light Company, FPL SolarNow is sure to become a Florida holiday tradition for families and friends. While the animals slumber, Palm Beach Zoo will be illuminated for the holidays with over one million eco-friendly lights. Each evening from 6 – 9 pm the Zoo will be aglow with unique themed displays from the entrance through the Florida Wetlands, Tropics of the Americas and NEW this year, Asia. The festive holiday fun also features photos with Santa (until Dec. 23rd)!
