COLORADO SPRINGS — A big holiday tradition is back at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo with the return of Electric Safari. The big celebration features over 50 acres of twinkling lights for the family to enjoy.
There are now 22 nights remaining to enjoy the displays. The zoo is lit up with colorful lights, 90 artisan-made light sculptures, and breathtaking nighttime city views.
Of course, you can visit many of your favorite Cheyenne Mountain Zoo animals and feed the giraffe herd and the budgies. You can even visit Santa and have your photo taken with him through Dec. 23.
Last year, the zoo added a collection of giant illuminated animal inflatables, including a 30-foot tall pair of giraffes, a butterfly, an orangutan, a sloth, and more. They make a perfect backdrop for unique holiday photos with friends and family.
Special for 2023, they have added holiday lights to the sky! At 7:30 p.m. every night of Electric Safari (weather permitting), guests can see our drone light show from nearly anywhere in the zoo. The holiday-safari-themed show will last around 15 minutes. Get prime viewing spots (first come, first served!) from the Elephant Boardwalk, Lodge at Moose Lake, or Giraffe Plaza.
