I didn't go in and take the tour, I just drove by it. Definitely worth driving by. The traffic waiting to get into the place was just nuts. Looked like about a 30 minute wait to get in. I'm parked less than a mile away, in preparation for an early AM pickup.

I looked it up...Remaining days are: 5:30 to 9:00 PM, December 4-6, 11-13, 18-23, 26-31

Tickets are now on sale for $9 per person in advance, or $11 at the gate. Children under 2 are admitted free. Parking is $6 per car. Wild Lights is a rain, snow-or-shine event, and often sells out. Advance ticket purchase is recommended.

It's in the running for the USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

It features five million LED lights illuminating buildings, trees and more than 100 animal sculptures along a path through the front half of the Detroit Zoo. The event also includes the Polar Plunge snow slide, ice sculptures, carousel rides, live entertainment, arts and crafts, a life-sized gingerbread house, photos with Santa Claus (through Dec. 23) and the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition.

Got a load from Russell Fri. At first I was a little bummed about the load, but took it anyway and im glad I did. Got to the shipper and the load wasn't bad at all and it put me near a location that I was needing to go. Just another lesson learned that sometimes it might not be as bad as you think. Thanks Russell!
