Dallas Zoo Lights is back on the calendar for a 10th season, with more than 2 million lights booked on select nights from Nov. 13 through Jan. 3.
The new piece is a lighted maze in The Grove. Oak Cliff Advocate described a display of wildlife lanterns and holiday-themed areas, and the zoo is selling single-admission tickets starting at $19.
Select Nights, Not the Whole Campus
The Dallas Zoo lists Dallas Zoo Lights Presented by Reliant on select nights across that Nov. 13–Jan. 3 window. Most of those nights run from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., according to Oak Cliff Advocate.
The lighted route is narrower than the daytime zoo. On its Zoo Lights page, the zoo says the event takes place exclusively in the main entrance, ZooNorth and the Tunnel.
Most animals are in behind-the-scenes habitats by evening. The show is lanterns and holiday scenery, not a nighttime animal walk.
A Maze in The Grove
The Grove maze runs over 600 square feet and stands 8 feet tall, Oak Cliff Advocate reported. That is the clearest addition called out for this season.
CW33 reported that Reliant is back as presenting sponsor and that Santa is scheduled nightly for family photos. Festive photo stops are part of the ticket, inside the event footprint rather than across the full campus.
What the Ticket Actually Buys
Single admission starts at $19. A combo costs $10 more than a Zoo Lights ticket and opens the zoo at 2:30 p.m., so an afternoon visit and the evening lights can sit on one purchase.
Holiday igloos hold up to six guests on 90-minute reservations. Parking is not folded into the ticket. The zoo lists it at $15, bought separately.
Dates, the $19 starting price, igloo reservations and that separate parking charge are all on the zoo's Zoo Lights page. The season is listed through Sunday, Jan. 3.
