About
Holiday Lights at Turtle Back Zoo is a completely FREE, walk-through light experience with glowing animal displays, music, and a few optional paid rides like the train and carousel. The 2025 season runs November 21-23 from 5-9 pm, then switches to nightly November 28 through January 3 (closed December 24–25 and January 1). Admission is completely free, which makes it an easy weeknight outing if you’re nearby. Non-perishable food donations, unwrapped toys and new and gently used coats are appreciated to donate to the less fortunate.
