The magic of the holidays is back at Animal Adventure Park with their legendary Jungle Bells light display! Just a short 20-minute drive from Binghamton to 85 Martin Hill Rd in Harpursville, NY, awaits a magical holiday experience for the whole family.
Dazzling Lights & Holiday Cheer
Get ready to be mesmerized by almost 2 MILLION twinkling lights illuminating the park from November 8th to December 28th. It's a walk-thru wonderland open Thursdays to Sundays from 4pm to 8pm as well as two Bonus Nights on Wednesday, November 27th and Monday, December 23rd.
Wander through the immersive "Under the Sea" area, get lost in the dazzling "Butterfly Garden", and snap a pic with the giant caroling reindeer. There are even 3 tunnels with over 300 feet of lights and one of the tallest fully lit trees around!
Meet Santa & the Grinch!
Santa Claus himself will be making merry on Fridays and Saturdays from November 8th to December 21st, ready to spread holiday cheer and capture picture-perfect moments in his heated workshop (bring your cameras!). But watch out! The Grinch will be lurking around on Fridays and Saturdays from November 30th to December 28th, spreading his signature holiday cheerlessness (in the best Grinch way possible, of course!).
Animal Encounters & Holiday Fun
Jungle Bells isn't just about lights! You can still meet and feed many of Animal Adventure Park's amazing animals, including camels and giraffes. Plus, there'll be hot drinks and delicious concessions to keep you warm and fueled for all the festive fun.
Don't Miss the Drive-Thru!
Looking for a quick dose of dazzling lights? There's a special Drive-Thru Only Experience on December 18th from 5pm to 8pm. It's the perfect way to experience the holiday magic without leaving your car!
