ElectriCritters at the Pueblo Zoo
ElectriCritters is a holiday light extravaganza, which has become a Pueblo
tradition. Annually attended by approximately 15,000 visitors, especially
designed animal sculptures make this event unique in the southern Colorado
region. Visitors stroll through the Zoo where they encounter live animals, as
well as lighted displays, while holiday music adds to the ambience. Awaiting
will be many new "critters" as well as the return of old favorites such as the
scampering chimps or the rattlin' rattlesnake. There will be that road runner
still chasing the leapin' lizard. Many of the "critters" are animated and others
have new family members to show off. Hot chocolate and other goodies are served
nightly in the Candy Cane Café and great stocking stuffers can be found in the
Wild Things Gift Shop.
