Discover an all new drive-through Holiday Lights Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo beginning Thursday, December 10 – Sunday, January 10, 2021 (closed on 12/24 and 12/25). Made possible by Rhode Island Commerce’s HArT Recovery Grant Program, the month-long light festival features festive larger-than-life luminous displays and over 1.5 million illuminated lights.

Celebrate the magic of the season during this festive new holiday tradition. Immerse yourself in a dazzling display of lights throughout the Zoo while staying warm and safe inside your car.

The trail will be open every night, excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, from 5:00 – 9:30 pm. Gates will close at 10:00 pm. Tickets are online sales ONLY and sold for each half hour (time slots are arrival windows to the Zoo and aren’t reflective of trail exploration times). Absolutely no tickets will be sold at the gate. Tickets are $25 per vehicle; members $20 per vehicle.  Tickets may be purchased at rwpzoo.org/holidaylights.

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
