The Holiday Magic! Winter Flower Show and Light Garden

Also running through the New Year, ending Jan. 8, the Holiday Magic! Winter Flower Show and Light Garden takes place at the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, with holiday trees, poinsettias and more, making for a gorgeous themed display.

 

The Zoo Lights Drive-Thru

Stay in the car for this Pittsburgh attraction. The Pittsburgh Zoo puts on a drive-thru holiday lights extravaganza, with animal lights, music and more, all enjoyable from your vehicle. The event runs through Dec. 30.
