Oklahoma City Zoo Safari Lights

Nov. 14, 2026 - Jan. 3, 2027

Go wild and fill your holiday season with the magic of light. The OKC Zoo's Safari Lights features a larger-than-life light display showcasing large wildlife-themed light sculptures viewable on a driving tour through the zoo. Feel the holiday cheer with animated light displays, festive treats, kids activities and themed photo opportunities.

 

Attendees can experience the wonder from the comfort of their vehicles by purchasing Drive-Thru Admission which includes access to the drive-thru course for one vehicle and up to four walk-thru admissions. Additional walk-thru admissions can be purchased separately.

Attendees also have the option to enjoy a separate walking experience by purchasing Walk-Thru Admission. In a pathway starting in the Zoo’s entry plaza, winding through the Children’s Zoo and outside of the Jungle Gym Playground, the walk-thru course features a musical light show, interactive light exhibits, s’mores stations, photo ops and more!

The Drive-Thru course and Walk-Thru course are located on separate pathways. To experience the full OKC Zoo Safari Lights, we recommend purchasing Drive-Thru Admission.
