The Zoo is getting Calgarians into the Christmas spirit again with its annual display of lights.

Zoo Lights is one of the best holiday light shows you will see with over 1.5 million twinkling lights scattered throughout the zoo.

New this year, are nine animated animal light figures.

Back by popular demand is SantaVision. This video screen allows kids to chat live with Santa direct from the North Pole. Every visit with Santa will be videotaped and uploaded to the SantaVision website at www.santavision.ca.

The Zoo will also be accepting food donations for the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank. Anyone who brings a non-perishable food item will receive a 2-for1 coupon to visit the Zoo in the spring.

Zoo Lights runs until January 3rd, with the exception of Christmas Day and New Year's Eve.
