CHRISTMAS AT THE ZOO, 5-9 p.m. Dec. 29 and 30, Indianapolis Zoo, 1200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis
These are the final two days to check out one of the country’s oldest and beloved zoo light displays. The Indianapolis Zoo kicked off the holiday light display in 1967, and it’s still going strong. Visitors can find special activities, interactive animal experiences, and food and drink.
The hub of the celebration is Santa’s Village, located in the zoo’s Bicentennial Pavilion. Visit with Santa, decorate cookies with Mrs. Claus and interact with real reindeer in the specially decorated North Pole buildings. The Polar Pathway brings people through a glowing tunnel of lights. Encounter penguins up close every evening. For the adults, sip on a holiday-themed cocktail at Tinsel Tavern.
