Guests can immerse themselves in a winter wonderland as they stroll along tree-lined paths aglow with hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights.
As they walk among the enchanting glow of the displays throughout the zoo, they may also see some of the animal residents including flamingos, black bears, and even reindeer.
Rumor has it, Santa will be making appearances for meet and greet opportunities beginning November 25th.
Sensory-Inclusive Night, January 2, 4:00pm-9:00pm:
ZooLights, Stone Zoo’s annual winter wonderland light display, is hosting a sensory-inclusive night for guests and their families on January 2. This special night, now in its third year, offers an alternative option for guests who benefit from a lower-intensity sensory experience, and is included with standard ZooLights admission. During the event, some aspects of the display will be deactivated and reduced to accommodate a sensory-friendly atmosphere.
Intergalactic Night, January 4, 4:00pm-9:00pm
Be transported to a galaxy far away on Saturday, January 4, when ZooLights celebrates Intergalactic Night. The costumed characters who will be at Stone Zoo are local members of “the New England Star Wars Costume Club” who, with the use of their movie-quality costumes, contribute to the local community through charity and volunteer work. Guests are invited to join in on the fun by wearing their own galactic-themed outfits for out of this world photo ops.
This year, guests can make their visit to Stone Zoo and ZooLights extra merry by reserving a spot at the Hot Chocolate with the Reindeer event.
During this special opportunity held on Fridays-Sundays from 3:30pm-4:00pm, visitors will sip hot chocolate and be able to take photos while learning more about Stone Zoo’s resident reindeer from a member of the animal care team. Pre-registration is required.
