“Wild Lights” at the Moorpark College Teaching Zoo - and Pizza too!
Details
Let's begin the 2025 magical holiday season with pizza, a short walk up the road, and Moorpark College's "Wild Lights" event at its Teaching Zoo (EATM).
Wild Lights is a self-guided 45-minute walk through the zoo's dazzling wonderland; bursting with vibrant lights, immersive interactive experiences, photo ops, festive cheer, and cookie decorating.
Just so you know, some of the animals will be sleeping but some may be out watching us. We may even hear the roar of a fierce lion!
We will begin our evening with pizza at the Custom Pie and Bar, located on the corner of Collins Dr. and Campus Park Dr. The pizza is really good BUT you need to place your order online, or by phone (805-222-5739), about 45 minutes before we meet. They make their pizzas from scratch.
