Over one million sparkling lights illuminate crisp winter nights, including more than 40 animated light sculptures. Seeing the city's lights from the Zoo at night is an added treat. Warming fires throughout the Zoo offer a reprieve from the chill, as do select indoor animal exhibits that remain open during the event. And for the first time ever, the new Elephant Barn will be open to the public - only during Electric Safari!
- Interactive activities will be available in The Loft, and learn more about your favorite animals
during special zookeeper talks each night. - Select animal exhibits are also open during the event, including the giraffe barn, Rocky Mountain Wild, Asian Highlands, Monkey Pavilion and Lion's Lair. And for the first time, see the elephants inside their new barn - only during Electric Safari!
