Volume One · The Format
Six Tastings. A Million Lights.
Six stations spread along the LumiNature trail, walked at your pace, drink in hand. Each pours one winter cocktail built for the zone it stands in — six tastings, six stops, one continuous route through the lights.

Know Before You Go
The Practical Part.
The Route
Just under a mile, fully paved, the Zoo's standard loop. Plan on two to two and a half hours end to end. Wheelchair and stroller accessible throughout.
Dress For It
Outdoors in December in Philadelphia. Layers, warm socks, and gloves you can hold a drink in. Santa Claws' Lodge has firepits along the route.
Getting There
Philadelphia Zoo, 3400 W Girard Ave. On-site parking fills early on LumiNature nights — rideshare drop-off is at the main gate. Please don't drive after the walk.
Age & ID
21+ only, no exceptions, and no guests under 21 on the trail during Cocktail Walk hours. Valid government-issued photo ID required at check-in.
Rain, Snow, Cold
The walk runs in snow and light rain — it's a winter event. Tickets are non-refundable except in the case of a full Zoo closure.
Non-Participants & Children
You are welcome to bring the whole family to LumiNature but note that only guests 21+ can participate in the Cocktail Walk. Children and Non-participants will need separate LumiNature tickets purchased directly from the Zoo
