INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Zoo’s annual Christmas at the Zoo is underway for its 53rd year, this year joined by exclusive presenting sponsor CareSource, a nationally recognized nonprofit health plan. This year will mark the start of a three-year partnership as the organizations work together to make lasting memories for the event’s more than 100,000 annual visitors.
The beloved holiday tradition opened the 2021 season on Nov. 20 and will continue daily through Dec. 30, with closures only on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The event uses 100% energy-efficient lights to illuminate its variety of guest experiences, including real reindeer housed in Santa’s Barn, a penguin photo-opportunity bench, warm beverages at Tinsel Tavern, fire pit areas, and much more.
A trailblazer in holiday light events, the Indianapolis Zoo was the first zoo in the nation to put on a “Zoo lights” in 1967 and has been nominated for USA Today’s 10Best Zoo Lights for seven consecutive years. Indianapolis Zoo fans near and far can cast their daily vote to show support of the Zoo.
Christmas at the Zoo is free for Zoo members and included with regular admission. Visit www.indianapoliszoo.com for tickets and more information.
