We went to the Baton Rouge Zoo's Zoolights this year, and we went on the perfect night. It wasn't cold or even chilly -- we didn't even wear jackets. For all my complaining about the weather it is a good benefit for evenings out.
Zoolights was a nice, easy stroll around the zoo, although
there were a couple parts that weren't lighted so I was confused as to
whether we were going the right way, particularly around the tiger
cages. It turned out that we were, but it was a little stressful.
It cost $13 for the three of us (two adults at $5 each and
Jane was $3). It's the only lights display I know of in Baton Rouge, and
it was worth it as a fun thing to do.
We ate supper early and then drove the ~20 minutes to the
north side of town. Jane loved seeing the lighted animals, and she liked
talking about ZOOLIGHTS! They also had a snowman, and the PA system
played Frosty at one point, so she was especially happy then. She didn't want to leave!
There is another…
