U.S. Bank Wild Lights at the Saint Louis Zoo

U.S. Bank Wild Lights at the Saint Louis Zoo is back for another beautifully lit season. Your family can stroll through the Zoo grounds surrounded by a million lights! Visitors will see animated light displays, enjoy fireside stories, campfire s'mores, fun photo opportunities, the Conservation Carousel, 4-D Theater featuring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and lots more in this enchanting holiday wonderland.

You'll enjoy your favorite Zoo attractions beautifully lit up with twinkling lights, waddle in the Penguin & Puffin Coast, get buggy at the Bayer Insectarium, see whimsical animal-themed displays across the Zoo grounds, and go underwater through the Sea Lion Sound tunnel. Kids can enjoy winter crafts, costumed characters and fun photo opportunities.

Plus, your kids can take a spin on the Conservation Carousel and the whole family can chill out in the 4-D Theater while you enjoy Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! Both are included in admission.
