To celebrate the 2022 winter season, America’s Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College plans to light up your holiday nights with a mesmerizing display of color.

From 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 23-26, Dec. 2-4, 11, 16-23 and 26-30, the zoo at Moorpark College will show off holiday-lit exhibits.

According to the event’s website, attendees will have the opportunity to do more than just roam the zoo grounds and take in the light displays.

“Take a self guided, 45 minute stroll throughout the Zoo filled with dynamic lights, immersive interactive experiences, fabulous photo ops, and seasonal magic,” the website states.

Guests will be greeted by Santa’s Workshop and a 12 foot tall holiday tree as they begin their strolls. The event’s website also states that the festive lights experience will take visitors through the zoo’s Arctic Enchanted Aviary and Illuminated Jungle, which will host a glow in the dark garden. Visitors can also observe the zoo’s famous wildcat, Ira the Lion, under his Canopy of Lights.
