Detroit Zoo Honors Unused Wild Lights Tickets Dec. 30-31

If the storm kept you home Monday — or you have other unused Wild Lights tickets — the Detroit Zoo will honor them on final nights of show.

ROYAL OAK MI – Southeast Michigan residents who weren’t able to attend the Detroit Zoo’s Wild Lights display because of a winter storm warning Monday can use those and other unused tickets Wednesday and Thursday nights, the zoo said Wednesday.

The display runs from 5:30-9 p.m. both nights.

“Driving conditions on Monday night were hazardous, and there were a few other inclement evenings, so anyone with unused tickets is welcome to join us (Wednesday and Thursday nights),” said Ron Kagan, Detroit Zoological Society executive director and CEO. “We want everyone to be safe.”

The event also includes holiday entertainment, ice carving, arts and crafts, the Wildlife Photographer of the Year and the Polar Plunge snow slide ($3 with admission).
