CLEVELAND — It's back!
Wild Winter Lights has returned to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo -- and this year features a new twist.
“For the first time ever, Wild Winter Lights will also feature two dynamic musical light shows featuring an enchanting 50-foot tree as well as a show on Waterfowl Lake,” zoo officials explain.
In total, Wild Winter Lights includes more than 1.5 million lights across holiday-themed areas throughout the zoo, which include the Enchanted Forest and Santa’s Workshop where guests can take a photo with Santa Claus himself.
Additional highlights of this year’s event include carousel rides, costumed characters, model train displays and ice carvers.
