It's known by many in Lansing that Potter Park Zoo annually decorates its zoo grounds with a collection of holiday lights. Recurring every week starting Nov. 33 through Dec. 30, every Thursday through Sunday, visitors can walk through the festively-adorned exhibits and walkways. The lights are turned on starting at 5 p.m. and last through 8 p.m.
"Potter Park Zoo is transformed into a magical winter wonderland with thousands of holiday lights and extraordinary visual displays," said event organizers. "Kids activities, entertainment and your festive animal friends make this a fun event for the whole family. (Lights are on Thu.–Sun. nights only) Closed Christmas Day."
