Admirers and supporters of the Detroit Zoo’s “Wild Lights” now have the opportunity to show the world that their hometown zoo’s spectacular holiday light display is the best of the best.
USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards has selected the Detroit Zoo as a contender in its Best Zoo Lights contest among 20 other zoos across the country, all vying for the top spot. But, that decision is now left to the public.
“Wild Lights” fans can vote every day – and on multiple devices – until 12 noon on Dec. 21 on USA Today’s website.
“Wild Lights is a breathtaking and magical experience. To have the community vote their zoo’s light display into the No. 1 spot would be a wonderful way to top off the holiday season,” said Ron Kagan, Detroit Zoological Society executive director and CEO.
“Wild Lights,” presented by Bank of America, features five million LED lights illuminating buildings, trees and more than 100 animal sculptures along a path through the front half of the Detroit Zoo. The event also includes the Polar Plunge snow slide, ice sculptures, carousel rides, live entertainment, arts and crafts, a life-sized gingerbread house, photos with Santa Claus (through Dec. 23) and the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. “Wild Lights” is held on select nights through Dec. 31.
