LA Zoo Lights is a whimsical way to enjoy the holiday season in the city of angels, and it’s back starting on Nov. 18.

The program, now in its third year, invites visitors to enter the zoo after-hours for an hour-plus stroll showcasing animal-themed LEDs, lasers, 3D projections, and animated displays.
