Join Global Engagement for an evening at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium on Friday, December 2 to celebrate the holiday season and enjoy Wildlights – an installation of more than 3 million twinkling lights.

Wildlights has been a holiday tradition in Central Ohio for more than 30 years. Each year, the Columbus Zoo decorates almost every inch of the zoo with bright lights and animated light displays – all while playing everyone's favorite holiday music. Enjoy fun activities around the zoo, like going on a train ride, roasting marshmallows and meeting Santa.

You'll also be able to see all the amazing animals the Columbus Zoo has. Explore the zoo's different areas, such as Asia Quest, North America, the Shores & Aquarium and more!

Tickets are limited and will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration closes Wednesday, November 30 at 5 p.m. The Global Engagement team will email you to confirm your participation – please register with an email you check frequently. Admission will be free for confirmed participants.

Plan to meet at the Ohio Union Bus Turnaround Loop on 12th Avenue at 5 p.m., where we will travel together by charter bus to the Columbus Zoo. Make sure to bring money for food and concessions.
