Buffalo Zoo Lights runs from December 31, 2022 to January 1, 2023 from 5:30pm to 9pm. Doors close at 8:30pm. Tickets are $16 (13+), 2 to 12 are $11. They terminated this event early because of weather so not available on December 31 and January 1.

Take in the dazzling light displays (charge up your phone for those Instagram-worthy photos!), ride on our Happy Holidays Express Train, indulge in warm winter treats including a hot cocoa bar and s’mores, and visit with special guests like Santa (December 18–December 23) or the Snow Sisters (December 26–January 1)!

M&T Bank Rainforest Falls and the Amphibian and Reptile Center will be open for an opportunity to warm up and visit with some of our animal residents—all other exhibits will be closed for the night.
