Here’s all the details for you: Zoo Lights sells tickets online only for a specific time and you are limited to how many you can purchase at one time. So, you will purchase your tickets online on your own again this year. You can purchase tickets here: https://go.oregonzoo.org/#/SpecialEventsCategory/ZLWNGA (they are $20) You’ll need a phone with you to have your downloaded tickets or you can print from home. We’ll be going to Zoo Lights on Friday, November 22nd, 2024, and have a walk in time of 7:00pm (Please purchase your tickets for November 22nd, 2024 at 7:00pm). There is a limit of tickets available so please purchase earlier rather than later. We’ll meet at the Fairgrounds MAX station at 6:00pm with a goal to get on the MAX around 6:30pm to then head to the Zoo, you’ll be purchasing your own MAX tickets when you arrive or use a hop card if you have one. Once we ride the MAX into the tunnel, we’ll enter the Zoo at 7:00pm and walk around for an hour or so. You can walk around wherever you’d like, but you must be with a buddy or group and have a cell phone with you. Our goal is to meet at 8:15pm by the gate to try and get onto the MAX at 8:30pm. Depending on the train schedule, we should be back around 9:00-9:30pm. The fare to ride the MAX is $2.50 for youth and $5 for anyone 18+. 

>>> So to recap, you purchase your tickets to Zoo Lights online (and YOU MUST send me an email or text that you’ve done so). When you arrive at the MAX, have cash or card or any other payment ready to get your MAX ticket and your tickets downloaded on your phone. We’ll ride the train, see the lights, and ride the train back. If you want to purchase hot chocolate, elephant ears or something from the gift shop, then please bring extra money with you.

**If money is a problem for you, please reach out to me for options, we never want money to be a reason that your youth does not participate in activities.**
