In the land of sunshine and Brazilian bikinis, we need all the Christmas cheer we can get. With a dearth of sleigh bells, sugarplums, and cozy fires, South Floridians have to make their own holiday magic. One thing we do have is a tropical zoo. And Zoo Miami is all about turning its warm-weather menagerie into a winter wonderland with the annual holiday spectacular Zoo Lights.
It’s a dazzling seasonal extravaganza, an animal-themed holiday affair complete with animal-shaped light displays, trees all aglow, hot chocolate and cookies, carolers, and, of course, Santa. You also score a pair of 3D glasses with admission so you can experience the Christmas lights in every dimension. There’s everything but snow.
Zoo Lights is open from 7 to 10 p.m. till December 30 (closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) at Zoo Miami (12400 SW 152nd St., Miami). Admission is $5 per person, and packages are available. Call 305-251-0400 or visit zoomiami.org/zoo_lights.
Mondays-Sundays, 7-10 p.m. Starts: Dec. 20. Continues through Dec. 30, 2014
