Sensory Friendly ZooLights happening Dec. 4

During this special evening you can expect the same great ZooLights with some modifications to make it more sensory friendly.

Sensory Friendly ZooLights is taking place at the Phoenix Zoo on Monday, Dec. 4.

From 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. tomorrow night, this experience is designed for guests that thrive in a sensory-supportive environment.

During this special evening you can expect the same great ZooLights with some modifications to make it more sensory friendly:

  • Smaller crowds due to limited tickets available for the evening (only 5,000 available each night).
  • A quieter music volume throughout the experience.
  • The Lake Lights Show turned off to reduce flashing lights (lights will just be static).
  • Photos with Santa (separate fee).
  • The lights on the Arizona Trail will be very slow-moving.
  • The rest of the zoo will have reduced light movement to the extent possible.
  • Sensory Stations will be available throughout the experience including:
    • BE and Fidgets – Leapin’ Lagoon Pavers
    • Fur, Feathers, and Scales – Adventure Center
    • Take a Break – Predator Passage
    • Building Blocks – Lakeside
    • Tiger Touch and Conservation – Conservation Center
    • Recess Games – Savanna Treehouse
  • All new Glow Garden.
  • Sensory Bags available first come first served.
