Holiday Lights Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo

Special Events · All ages · $ Paid · Registration required

Bundle up for a family walk through glowing holiday displays at Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island. More than 3.5 million lights fill the outdoor route, with festive music and food, hot chocolate and s’mores available to buy. Allow about 1–1.5 hours for the walk. Roger the Red Panda mascot hosts holiday storytime at 6, 7 and 8 PM. Strollers and wagons are welcome; the route includes hills and some uneven or unpaved areas. This is a lights outing, not an animal visit: animal exhibits are not included. Flashing lights may affect photosensitive visitors. Choose a timed arrival window beginning at 5, 6, 7 or 8 PM and buy tickets online in advance; the hour-long slot is an arrival window, not your visit duration. Ages 1 and under are free; request their free ticket on arrival. Tickets are normally non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. The show runs rain or shine; if the zoo cancels for severe weather, contact Guest Services about changing your date. Admission is $15 for ages 13+ and $13 for ages 2–12. Active zoo members save $2 per adult and $1 per child when logged in.
