Let It Glow! A Holiday Lantern Spectacular at the Bergen County Zoo

The Bergen County Zoo is lighting up the season once again with Let It Glow! A Holiday Lantern Spectacular!

This must-see, one-of-a-kind Bergen County holiday tradition runs from November 6, 2025, through January 11, 2026. Take a stroll through the zoo after dark and enjoy more than 30 dazzling, larger-than-life animal-themed lantern displays that transform the zoo into a glowing wonderland.
