Bronx Zoo holiday lights set to return after a dozen years
BY ALEX MITCHELL
It’s diffi cult to imagine the
cold winter months after July’s
scorching heat wave, but
the Bronx Zoo is bringing a
little Christmas into the summer
by announcing the return
of its internationally-acclaimed
holiday lights in late
November.
The 265-acre zoo is bringing
back this long awaited, holiday
tradition for the fi rst time
since 2007. As a matter of fact,
the Bronx Zoo holiday lights
are the only professionally choreographed
holiday light show
in the borough.
Before its 12-year hiatus,
the Bronx Zoo lights had illuminated
all sorts of holiday
cheer throughout its grounds
in all different shapes, styles
and sizes.
While some took the shape
of a more traditional Christmas
style objects, others were
styled as butterfl ies and threedimensional
horses ‘riding’
through the expansive hardwood
forest. In addition there
were animated turtledoves and
other avian fi gures that would
swoop from treetop to treetop.
So now for the end of 2019,
this new dazzling light display
Some of the zoo’s dated holiday lights. Bronx Zoo
will cover several acres of the
zoo in a walk-through experience
featuring wildlife-themed
LED displays, custom Asian
lanterns and animated light
shows on the historic Astor
Court.
The newest lights will also
include entertainment for the
late night. Family festivities
will include holiday-themed
music, ice carving demonstrations,
