What Is Oakland Zoo Glowfari:

Glowfari features hundreds of larger-than-life glowing animal lanterns throughout the Zoo.

This year’s experience features new displays including a walkabout through the land down under with kangaroos and koalas, icons of the California coastline including whales, otters, and jellies, exotic animals of the tropical rainforest, and a trip to the past with a towering t-rex and a megalodon shark tunnel!

Finish your experience with a ride on the train through a fantasy wonderland full of fabled creatures like fairies, unicorns, and more mythical beasts!

Make sure to visit Santa in the Rides Area Fridays – Sundays in November and every night December 1-23 from 6:00pm to 9:30pm (line closes at 9:15pm).
