Join us for an all-new lights experience at Riverbanks! (Formerly Lights Before Christmas)
Stroll through the Zoo and discover nearly 60 larger-than-life handcrafted lanterns inspired by nature. From pollinators and plants to endangered (and even extinct) animals, guests will be dazzled by awe-inspiring illuminations around every turn. Plus, enjoy interactive activities, fun photo ops, and seasonal favorites including nightly snowfall and visits with Santa (through December 23).
On select evenings between November 17, 2023-January 14, 2024 from 5 to 9 p.m., experience Lake Murray Country’s longest running holiday tradition at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden!
Avoid long holiday lines and purchase your tickets in advance at www.riverbanks.org. Please note: Wild Lights are open select evenings in November and December! Tickets go on sale November 1st
