We’re excited to share that 1DegreeOutside is partnering again with Zoo New England to bring extra sparkle to one of Greater Boston’s favorite holiday traditions — ZooLights at Stone Zoo!
As part of this partnership, you’ll see ZooLights banners right now, inside the 1DegreeOutside app, giving our followers a quick, easy way to learn more and purchase tickets for one of the region’s most beloved winter events.
ZooLights transforms Stone Zoo into a glowing winter wonderland, inviting guests to stroll through tree-lined pathways illuminated by thousands of twinkling lights. From the 300-foot multicolor tunnel to whimsical holiday scenes, it’s a perfect way to soak in the season with family and friends.
And yes, some of Stone Zoo’s animal residents may make an appearance, including flamingos, reindeer, and black bears, adding a touch of wildlife magic to the night.
Select dates through Dec 23, 4:30-8:30 p.m.
A magical chance for kids (and adults!) to share holiday wishes and capture the perfect photo.
Ride the Carousel, Jungle Fun, or try the limited-time “Elf Power” VR experience (weather-dependent).
Warm apple cider, hot cocoa, cheeseburger egg rolls, apple-filled churros, chili cheese fries, and even Twisted S’mores.
These treats alone make the trip worth it!
