Wildlife & Lights, There something about the Holidays in a little mountain town. Bundled-up evening strolls. A warm drink between your hands. Lights that make you stop, look up, and feel like a kid again. This Friday, November 13, that feeling gets even brighter. Alpine Zoo Wild Lights is back! With more lights and more to explore, this year’s experience brings even more wonder to a Big Bear holiday favorite. Wander beneath the dazzling Great Pine, follow Rudolph’s Storybook Adventure, and explore the sparkle of Candy Cane Lane. Toast s’mores by the fire, sip hot cocoa, and let holiday music put you in the spirit. Then browse the Moonridge Winter Market for handcrafted gifts and artisan treasures, something special for someone you love, or a little something you simply can’t leave behind. And the Holiday charm doesn’t stop at the zoo. The Village is dressed in twinkling lights, ready for an evening of wandering into little shops, lingering over dinner, and taking the long way back just to enjoy the glow. Book a cozy cabin, bring your favorite people, and make a whole weekend of it. Whether you’re coming back for another year or discovering Wild Lights for the first time, this could be the holiday tradition everyone asks to do again. Come for the lights. Stay for the feeling.
