ZooLights Description & Music
ZooLights is going green!

LED (light-emitting diode) lights consume far less energy than standard light bulbs, leading to greatly reduced energy costs. They also require far less energy to manufacture than other light sources, reducing their environmental impact even further.
ZooLights is also powered by SRP EarthWise Energy, a more environmentally friendly way to produce electricity. EarthWise Energy helps keep our Valley clean by producing energy from sun, wind, the earth’s heat and flowing water in our canals.
Animal Viewing
ZooLights is an evening holiday event that does not offer the same animal viewing opportunities as a daytime visit. Please consider coming back for a daytime visit to see our new orangutan exhibit!
ZooLights Music
Unfortunately, ZooLights music is not available for purchase. The Zoo pays a fee to three performing rights organizations: ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. This provides us with the rights to play the music but not the rights to sell the music. Most all the music is public domain, only the music played at “Music in Motion” dancing tree show is a computer generated compilation of several songs. It is not available to the general public.
