We went and took in the Winter Light Spectacular
at the zoo this past weekend. It was nothing short
of AMAZING! It was beautiful! It was a great
time and definitely worth the trip.

The lights were great and sprinkled throughout
the zoo were characters like Cinderella and
Belle for those photo ops! Even for us big kids,
it was well-worth the price of admission.
Lots of fun!

The winter light spectacular was beautiful.
One of the best light displays I have ever seen.
The kids loved the little dance party by cafeteria.
We will be making this a family tradition.
