We highly recommend making the trip to Columbia for a brand-new experience: Wild Lights at Riverbanks Zoo & Gardens. This breathtaking and magical event is perfect for families looking for something fun to do after the holidays. For 35 years, Riverbanks hosted Lights at Riverbanks-but this year, they started an all-new tradition: Wild Lights, which aims to shine a light on the beauty of nature along with the zoo’s mission of conservation. There are nearly 60 larger-than-life handcrafted lanterns inspired by nature. You’ll see many of the zoo animals you know and love along with some extinct creatures like dinosaurs and wooly mammoths-and even an ice dragon-along with beautiful flowers and plants that set the scene. While you may see some night owls during the event, most of the zoo’s residents are off-exhibit to catch some Z’s. The Aquarium & Reptile Conservation Center and Birdhouse aren’t open to the public. One of the coolest parts of the lights is that many of the lanterns move, from salamanders flicking their tails to crocodiles snapping their jaws. Near the train, there’s a brilliant blue 11-foot tall peacock that fans its feathers every few minutes. The show-stopping Lingzhi tree and massive crab in the center of the zoo blow smoke bubbles that the kids will love popping. There are moonlight swings and a light-up stepping board kids will want to try.
