Zoo Lights

November 18th thru January 14th

Zoo lights returns to the Houston Zoo with over 2 million lights presented by TXU Energy. Grab a glass of hot cocoa as you walk through a 15 mile spectacle. Not to mention, there are some other features on specific nights such as an enchanted forest. Tickets range from $11.95 to $19.95 based on your zoo membership status and what night it is.

Lights in the Heights

December 9th | 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

It’s tradition for the Woodland Heights neighborhood to produce a spectacular light show the first Saturday in December. But don’t worry, the lights don’t turn off until well after Christmas so if you want a less crowded affair this is your place to go.

Moody Gardens Festival of Lights

Wish to see more than a million lights by the sea? Moody Gardens has you covered. They not only provide this amazing spectacle but also provide an Ice Land where skilled carvers have given you a magical journey through the rainforest with a slide down the giant ice slide that takes you throughout the entire jungle. Admission is $15.95 for the regular exhibit and Ice Land is $26.95 for adults and $21.95 for children.
