It’s a night out with a combination of festive lights and disco, at America’s Teaching Zoo in Moorpark.
The Zoo’s Development Co-ordinator Mara Rodriguez says their animals are all ready to welcome visitors for the holiday event.
"This is the first night time event at the zoo and we are going big!" she told KCLU.
"A lot of people don't understand all of the work that goes on behind the scenes to produce an event like that and one of the things was to get the animals used to us being there at night," said Mara.
Mara said they've been playing Christmas music and getting the animals used to the light displays, ahead of opening the event to the public.
"They seem to be really enjoying it," she said. "Ira the lion is sleeping right next to his lit canopy."

Nov 24, 26th through 28th.
December 3rd-5th
December 10th & 11th
