(PIX11) \u2014 The Holiday Lights are back at the Bronx Zoo for a 7th straight year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">PIX11 News got a sneak preview Tuesday night. It opens to the public on Friday, Nov. 21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/pix11.com\/news\/local-news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:More Local News;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\"> More Local News <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There are nearly 400 lanterns and more than a million lights. This year, there\u2019s also an interactive Freeze Zone, which includes a snowball toss and snow slides. The setup starts right after Halloween.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Jim Breheny, the director of the Bronx Zoo, said, \u201d It\u2019s a huge amount of work because we own all the lights and the lanterns. It\u2019s a labor of love, really, for the people at the zoo because we really like the aspect of the zoo being seen by the community and used by the community in a different way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s open 4:30 to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday through Jan. 4. Additional weekday tickets are available around Christmas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bronxzoo.com\/holiday-lights\/tickets\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Click here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Click here<\/a> to purchase tickets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
