California: What a zoo

The Los Angeles Zoo has transformed itself for the holidays with its inaugural L.A. Zoo Lights experience. The nighttime environment includes a series of animal escapades rendered in LED lights, lasers, 3D projections, spectacular sets and interactive displays. Guests take a self-guided 60- to 90-minute tour through zoo while the animals themselves are asleep. A troop of animated LED monkeys guide visitors to an illuminated Reggie the alligator, an origami rhino, singing elephants, and a party of musical pink flamingos and their DJ leader, among others. The show is open through Jan.4.
