From November to January, the Oregon Zoo becomes a brightly lit winter wonderland, aptly named ZooLights. Guests can tour the zoo’s 1.5 million lights by train or by foot. Though most of the Oregon Zoo’s animals are hard to spot during the nighttime spectacle, LED dragons, alligators, peacocks, orangutans and other “animals” colorfully decorate the park.
