Get happening with today’s Groupon to Zoo Lights at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo.

Festive lights transform Fresno Chaffee Zoo into a winter wonderland during Zoo Lights, a holiday celebration with sparkling displays and live music performances. Patrons can stroll the illuminated grounds and take in the breathtaking exhibits while gargling Little Drummer Boy with free hot cocoa. Each evening, local groups take the stage and showcase homegrown talents. After munching a cookie, visitors can create a holiday craft or snap their own photos with Santa. Visitors can also indulge in the seasonally exclusive opportunity to bask in the glow of bright lights without relocating to Vegas or patronizing a fast-food chain.

Regular zoo admission is not included. Admission is free for children younger than 2. Adult tickets are required for visitors age 12 and older.
