11/22: Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens Colors of the Wild Holiday Kick-Off

Colors of the Wild is back with an all-NEW collection of stunning lanterns you’ve never seen before! This year’s journey takes you from the depths of the ocean to the vast African savanna, then into the realm of mystical creatures from Asia, all illuminated in breathtaking detail. As twilight falls, wander through a shimmering Winter Wonderland filled with sparkling lights and seasonal magic that adds a cozy, festive glow to the evening.

Kick off Colors of the Wild with a magical evening as Santa Claus arrives at 5:30 p.m.! Our warm-weather penguins love welcoming their frosty friend from the North Pole each year. While you wait for his big entrance, enjoy live music, festive prize drawings and tasty cookies and cocoa.
