Description

We are so excited to open Zoo Lights for our third holiday season. Guests will stroll around the zoo and enjoy twinkling lights, dazzling displays, festive activities, and of course... Santa Claus and reindeer! Zoo Lights will be a magical destination creating lasting memories and a new favorite tradition.

the Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center is grateful to all those in the community we call Elves. Zoo Lights could not be as successful without you!  Opening night is November 18! We would appreciate your help with wrapping lights around trees and tunnels and attaching rope light to the new displays. with putting the lights on the displays as well as in trees. We will break out into small groups working on several zones throughout the zoo.

If fall fundraiser date falls in line with volunteer date we may have some table set up to tackle.
