This Years PNC Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo Will Be A ‘Wild’ Wonderland!

That time of year is fast approaching once again. The time for sledding, catching snowflakes, and lights! It’s also the time to make sure that your scheduled oil changes are up to date and your antifreeze is full. Once again, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden will be transformed into the amazing “Wild Wonderland” for the 31st annual PNC Festival of Lights. How many lights, exactly? Well, just over 2-million LED lights. Visitors are able to watch a Madcap Black-light puppet show, visit with Santa, ride the North Polar Express Train, search for fairies in Fairyland, watch the Wild Lights show on Swan Lake, or get their snack on at one of the S’mores-n-More stands. It is easily one of the best places in our area to take a kid, loved one, or a group of friends! The PNC Festival of Lights opens nightly beginning November 23rd and goes through January 4th, from 5-9 p.m. on Sundays through Thursdays and 5-10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

“In what has become a Cincinnati holiday tradition, PNC’s support continues to bring this kind of spirit and joy to the people of the tri-state area, and we invite all of our neighbors to visit the Cincinnati Zoo to take part in the PNC Festival of Lights,” said Kay Geiger, President, Greater Cincinnati/N. Kentucky. This year, families have the chance to make memories in the many different themed areas, from Fairyland, to the Candy Cane Forest, to the Twinkle Trail. For those kids eager to see Santa, he can be found in the North Pole up until December 23rd. Also, we can’t forget to mention that costumed holiday characters will be strolling through the park, ready for those kids who want pictures with their favorite holiday buddy. Discounts are available from both your local Skyline Chili locations and any area Kroger, so stock up! Come celebrate 31 years of family and tradition at the Cincinnati Zoo PNC Festival of Lights.
