Okay so I must admit I wasn't exactly the most enthusiastic visitor to Zoo Lights but I had a date who had been talking for weeks about how she wanted to go so we went.
I have to say it is pretty cool if for nothing more than walking around the zoo at night being a different feel. The lights aren't super impressive but the atmosphere is pretty cool. I was underwhelmed by the "New musical light show" at the lake and felt that using some different songs and maybe some more impressive light schemes would have been better.
As for a date location it's a pretty good spot and on a cold night gives plenty of reason to hold somebody special close...if you know what I am saying. So makes this spot a fun place to walk around for an hour or two, maybe even snag a cup of hot chocolate while you're at it.
