Glowfari Oakland Zoo

Join the Oakland Zoo this fall and winter for Glowfari opening November 10! This family-friendly experience features hundreds of giant glowing animal lanterns throughout the zoo, depicting the ongoing journey of wildlife, the importance of every species on the earth, and the Oakland Zoo's commitment to conservation. Tickets go on sale November 1!

This year's Glowfari experience features new themes including the forests of North America with iconic native wildlife like mountain lions and wolves, frosty friends of the Arctic with puffins and polar bears, the deep ocean featuring rarely seen sea creatures, and a stroll through the swamp as you encounter alligators and other animals of the Bayou! My family and I have attended the last three Glowfaris at the zoo and they're always a magical experience. It's really a highlight of our holiday season!

Make sure to pay a visit Santa in the zoo's rides area nightly from December 1–23. Santa will be available for visits from 6–9 pm (line closes at 8:45 pm).
