National Zoo stays open late for ZooLights exhibit

Winter is the perfect time to see Washington in a different light. The crowds have thinned. And those humid 95-degree days are long gone. And the National Zoo is a different experience because of 500,000 bulbs that illuminate the annual ZooLights celebration.

Eco-friendly twinkly lights will decorate zoo walkways, trees and buildings. Sculptures featuring popular zoo residents, including elephants and giant pandas, light ip in time to music.

If walking and watching isn't enough excitement, head to Lion & Tiger Hill, home to a 150-foot-long snowless tubing run. Rides on the trackless train and the carousel also will be available.

Don't forget to visit a few of the zoo's real animals. The Kid's Farm. Reptile Discovery Center. Small Mammal House. Think Tank(orangutans) and Great Cats exhibit will be in the evening. There's no guarantee, however, that the animals will be as lively as the humans in attendance.

When: November to January 1 (except December 24-25), 5to 9 p.m.

Where: 3001 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, D.C.

How much: Admission is free: limited parking is $22. Charges for tubing, train rides and carousel rides.
