The Phoenix Zoo’s ZooLights crew has been up in the trees for the past few weeks already installing ZooLights!

Triple-digit temps can’t stop the work that a crew of four full-time employees perform to get millions of lights strung through trees, hundreds of dazzling displays placed and illuminated lanterns shining bright!

This is the 30^th year of ZooLights which kicks off to the public on Thursday, November 24, 2021 and runs every night through Saturday, January 14, 2022.

New armatures this year include a herd of bison, a cougar, a gorilla, a one-eyed-one-horned-flying-purple-people-eater, a variety of sea creatures and illuminated “light boxes” showcasing animal artistry throughout the Zoo and many, many more!

It takes the crew approximately 5 months to install ZooLights.
