What better way to celebrate the Christmas season than with a stroll through some beautiful holiday scenery?
At Baton Rouge Zoo‘s ZooLights, you, your friends and your family can trek down a mile-long trail through the zoo, taking in the sights of more than 50 illuminated sculptures depicting animals and traditional holiday displays.
You can expect to see massive displays of lions, tigers, elephants, alligators, snowmen, Santa and more, with some sculptures towering up to 30 feet in the air.
