Zoolights is an animal light display held at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. Scattered around the zoo are different light installations of all the various kind of animals.<\/p>\n<p>Since this event is held at night, you won\u2019t be able to see the animals because they were in their indoor cells. With a couple of exceptions, like the camel-rides and in one of the indoor displays we were able to see a sleeping tiger. However, the aquarium is still open, so while you warm up you can gaze at the different species of sharks, fishes, and my personal favorite, jellyfish.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s honestly a spectacular light installation. You can\u2019t help but smile and awe at all the brilliant displays illuminating against the night sky. I\u2019d highly recommend going to this if you haven\u2019t gone yet. This event will run through January 1<sup>st<\/sup> from 5 &#8211; 9 pm. I would also recommend checking the weather ahead of time and to dress for the weather aka bundle up. When we went, it was a chilly and windy 28\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3796\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_193835.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3796\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3796\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_193835-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Tacoma Narrow's Bridge\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_193835-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_193835-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_193835-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3796\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tacoma Narrow&#8217;s Bridge<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3795\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_200831.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3795\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3795\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_200831-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Walruses!\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_200831-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_200831-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_200831-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3795\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Walruses!<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3794\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_193406.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3794\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3794\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/whatwedo\/files\/2016\/12\/20161207_193406-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Mt.
