    Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo

    About

    This one you walk. Everything else here, you drive.Wild Lights is the Detroit Zoo's holiday display at 8450 W 10 Mile Rd in Royal Oak, and it is the main walk-through alternative to the drive-through shows west of here. You are on foot among lit animal sculptures rather than queued in a line of cars, which is the right call with children who will not sit still for 6.5 miles. Roughly 45 minutes from Ann Arbor.The 2026-27 season does not run every night, and that is the detail that catches people. November dates are the 21st, 22nd and 27th to 29th. December is the 4th to 6th, 10th to 23rd and 26th to 31st. January is the 2nd and 3rd. Friday and Saturday run 5pm to 10:30pm, every other night 5pm to 9pm.Admission is 17 to 25 dollars booked online and 27 at the gate, so booking ahead saves real money here. Parking is 8 dollars a vehicle on top. A ticket is needed for everyone aged two and up. Phone (248) 541-5717. The dates, hours and prices are the zoo's own 2026-27 posting, verified 26 Oct 2026.
