A new nighttime holiday-lights experience at the San Francisco Zoo -- its first ZooLights in eight years -- with over a million lights across 14 themed zones (including a Frozen zone and a lit Golden Gate Bridge display) plus an after-dark look at the Dinos Rule! exhibit. Requires a separate evening ticket from daytime zoo admission.
Good to know
- Direct WebFetch to sfzoo.org and to news coverage was blocked this session; confirmed via multiple independent sources (Hoodline, Oct 2026; CBS News SF; sf.funcheap.com as discovery-only corroboration, not cited as sourceUrl) all quoting the zoo's own announcement/press release.
- Dates (Fri 11/6/2026-Sun 1/3/2027), nightly 5:30-9:00 PM, closed Mon/Tue until 12/16/2026 then open daily, are the organizer's own stated schedule, not guessed -- weekday array reflects the Wed-Sun-closed-Mon/Tue pattern that holds through 12/15; from 12/16 on it runs every night (a nuance this schema's single weekday array can't fully express, so the fuller detail is in the day field).
- Exact child-ticket age cutoff and any blackout dates weren't independently pinned down -- worth a direct spot-check closer to the event.
