The winter season is upon us. Even here in sunny Southern California, the changing of seasons has us thinking of hats and scarves, hot cocoa, trips to the snow, and various wintery traditions. Among the things that most of us have come to anticipate and thoroughly enjoy each winter season are the colorful lights that seem to spring up all around us. One particular light festival in Los Angeles has families excited again this year.
Every year the already lively Los Angeles Zoo is transformed and comes to life in a whole new way after hours. This year, from November 18, 2022, through January 22, 2023, L.A. Zoo Lights presents “Animals Aglow.”
