A drive-through version of the Phoenix Zoo's ZooLights, letting visitors roll past millions of lights and through a 200-foot light tunnel from the car. Held as a special date after the walk-through season.

Best time to arrive. Sunset in Phoenix is around 5:22 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:49 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 41°F, so dress for standing around outside.
