I remember my first visit to the zoo and learning about the animals. Video footage from visiting the Columbus Zoo in December 2018 Fun fact: actress Beverly DAngelo, who played Ellen Griswold in the classic Christmas Vacati. Columbus Zoo and Aquarium: Christmas lights - See 2,635 traveler reviews, 9,096 candid photos, and great deals for Powell, OH, at Tripadvisor. Ohio Girl Travels explores that Columbus Zoo at Christmas time. I don't mind a trip to the zoo as long as the animals are content, and I think it helps people and children to learn about and appreciate animals. The Columbus Zoo Wildlights are a family experience that can be both fun and educational. I know that zoos have gotten a bad reputation in the past few years, partially due to the stupidity of humans. I would like to visit it again if I am around the area, but it depends if it has improved and is worth visiting. Wildlights at Columbus Zoo is still going strong but is not quite as popular as it once was. A huge attraction and tradition in Central Ohio is Wildlights at The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. These included the reptitle/lizard/bat houses, the elephant room, and the aquarium. I think they generally avoided the lights around the animals that need their sleep, but other animals could be visited in that time. One of the other things to see, besides the lights, were some of the animals.

It was just so cold as soon as we were outside, breath from our noses froze.Īpparently, this tradition at Columbus Zoo started in or around 1998, but I had never heard of it until 2005 when friends visited I suppose they mentioned it on social media, so attractions like this get a lot of publicity through word-of-mouth on social media. What: Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium is one of the most beloved holiday traditions here in Central Ohio. On the day I visited, it was close to -30 degrees Celsius, so a lot of my photographs did not turn out too well because it was much too cold, and we did not hang around for too long. The zoo came to life with thousdands of Christmas lights at dusk. It was one of the first places to do a spectacular Christmas lights tradition, and since then, these are done at quite a few places. Each year, the holidays descend on the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium during Wildlights. I went to see the Wildlights at the zoo, which was a very popular attraction to do at Christmas at that time and a few years prior. Back in 2008, I visited Colunbus Zoo in Columbus, Ohio.
