Tickets are now available for this year's stunning ZooLights display

One of Calgary’s most festive events will be back this holiday season.

Zoolights, presented by Olympia Trust Company, is returning to the Calgary Zoo for its 24th year.

The zoo will be transformed into a magical wonderland with 2 million twinkling lights from November 20, 2020, to January 3, 2021 (excluding December 25), for seven weeks of family-friendly fun that gives back to animal conservation.

Head to the zoo to ice skate, make crafts, take a photo with Santa, and drink hot chocolate by the fire — all while following COVID-safety protocols.

Online timed tickets have become available on the zoo website, and those hoping to snag a spot should act fast, because this event is known to sell out — even on years when there isn’t reduced capacity!
