20,000 Lights And Gift Bagging At Cosley Zoo

By Margie Wilhelmi 

Wheaton, IL - Come out during the month of December and enjoy 20,000 twinkling lights and spectacular displays that transform Cosley Zoo into a fairy tale winter wonderland. The lights and holiday music come on daily at 3 p.m. and the zoo closes at 9 p.m.

Visit the animals and purchase your tree, wreath or holiday gifts. For the first time, the Junior Zookeepers are providing gift bagging for your shopping convenience.

If you’re wondering what is on the zoo animals’ list, stop in the Wild Side Gift Shop and choose an ornament from the Holiday Wish Tree. Each ornament displays a gift for one of the animals. Each gift will be recognized in the next issue of Cosley Tails.

 On Saturday, November 29, December 6 and December 13, see Santa and make a craft or two at Santa’s Craft Corner from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. No registration required.
