Experience Holiday Lights Spectacular presented by RI Energy – Rhode Island’s brightest annual walk-through experience, lighting up the season with more than 3.5 million twinkling bulbs across 40 acres of festive fun. Stroll, sip, and saunter your way through glowing pathways and whimsical displays that bring the holidays to life. From playful penguins to shimmering snowflakes, the magic of the season is on display at New England’s favorite winter tradition.
Stop and grab a hot chocolate or an adult beverage, toast s’mores by the fire, and take in the glow that makes the Zoo shine after dark. It’s the perfect holiday experience to share with friends and family.
