Ua liloʻo Zoolights i mau mōʻauka Tacoma no nā makahiki he nui a ke hoʻomau neiʻo ia kekahi o nā hōʻailona mālamalama mele Kalikimaka ma ka'āina. A no ke kumu maikaʻi! ʻO ka papa o ka Point Defiance Zoo a me ka Aquarium kahi i loaʻa i loko o ka hapa miliona miliona, nā kukui uila e pili ana i nā keiki'ōpio a me nā poʻe malihini kipa. E hoʻomaka ana ma hope iho o ka mahaloʻana a me ka hoʻomauʻana a hiki i ka halaʻana o ka makahiki hou, He ala maikaʻiʻo Zoolights i ka ante ma kāu lā hoʻomaha.
Hiki iāʻoe ke nānā hou aku i ka zoo i ka lā,ʻoʻoe, a hiki iāʻoe ke kūʻai i kaʻaelike hele mai e komo pū ka lā i ke kau a me ka pō i Zoolights.
Ma ka South South a pau, ua hoʻokuʻiʻia i waena o Zoolights a me Fantasy Lights i Spanaway i ka meaʻoi loa, akā ua loaʻa i ka Zoolights ka pono no kekahi mau kumu. ʻO kekahi o nā mea maikaʻi loa,ʻo ia ka hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻoikaika i kouʻike ma hope o Zoolights, a ma Fantasy Lights e loaʻa iāʻoe kahi huakaʻi no ka uku o ke komoʻana aʻo ia nō ia. I Zoolights, kūʻai i kahi kāleka wela aʻauwana i nā ala hele hoʻokahi,ʻelua aʻoi aʻe paha. E koho i kāu kiʻi pono'ī.
ʻOiai, ua waho nā Zoolights i ka wā e mālama ai nā'ahima Fantasy iāʻoe i loko o kāu kaʻa, no laila e hoʻomaʻamaʻaʻoe i ka uhiʻana i nā kapa mahana a me nā wai kīnāʻole e like me ka hoʻoilo i ke Komohana. Hiki iāʻoe ke ua, ma muli o ke ahiahi, akā mau nō kekahi mau hale no ka hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻokuʻi i loko o ka hale a puka i waho mai ka lewa inā ponoʻoe.
Ināʻaʻole pono ka ua i kāu e hoʻomanaʻo ai, e kūpono nā pōti i kēlā me kēia pō, no laila inā e uaʻiʻoe, hiki iāʻoe ke koho e hele i kekahi pō.
Nā mea eʻike a hana
ʻO ka hapa nui o Zoolights ke nānāʻana i nā kukui - e lawe i kahi helehelena a mahalo i nā hiʻohiʻona i'ālohilohi i nāʻano o nā holoholona a me nā hiʻohiʻona o keʻano.
Hoʻopihaʻia nā kumu lāʻau a me nā lāʻau e hele ana i nā ala hele. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hōʻike mai nā hōʻike he nui mai nā makahiki i hala aku nei, akā he mea maʻamau kekahi mea (aʻo nā mea'ē aʻe!) Hou eʻike.
ʻO ka lapalapa ahi kahi o nā hōʻailonaʻoihana kiʻekiʻe loa-he lāʻau nui i'ōpū i nā kukui uila. ʻO nā mea'ē aʻe e hoʻi mai i kēlā me kēia makahiki,ʻo ia nā Narrows Bridges, kahi manu nui, poho pola, a me kahi pua puaʻa. ʻO kekahi mau hanana he "animated" a me nāʻano likeʻole o kahi kiʻi kiʻi i nā manawa likeʻole e hana i ka manaʻoʻole o ka neʻeʻana - eʻikeʻoe i kaʻaeto e lele i lalo e hopu i nā iʻa, nā popo a me nā'ā'ī e hoʻopiliʻia e ka iʻa, iloko o ka ululaau.
Hiki i ka lewa ke kuhi a paʻakikī a he kūlana paʻakikī ia me nā keiki, akā, he manawa maʻalahi no nā mākua-ʻo ka hele wāwae ma o Zoolightsʻo ia ka manaʻo no ka pō.
Aia kekahi mau mea'ē aʻe ma Zoolights ma mua o kaʻoliʻoliʻana i nā kukui, e like me ka holoʻana i kahi kāmelo. ʻAʻole lōʻihi a hoʻonui paha ka holo, akā hiki iā ia ke hauʻoli no nā keiki'ōpio. Aia kekahi carousel kahiko ma kahi a hāʻawi i nā kaʻa i ka manawa o Zoolights. Aia kahi cafe e kokoke ana i ka puka o zoo kahi e hiki ai iāʻoe ke kūʻai aku i ka balaka maʻemaʻe, ka cafe a me nā mea'ē aʻe.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā Zoolights ma waho, akā ua weheʻia kekahi mau keʻena i loko, a me (keʻole kahi hana kūikawā) i ka hale aquarium, kahi kūpono kahi e mahana ai.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā holoholona e hiamoe ana i ka manawa o ka hoʻomakaʻana o nā Zoolights, akā he mau mea e kū ana, akā,ʻo nā mele nui, kahi e waihoʻia ana i loko o kahi kuapo.
Hale kaʻa a me nā lehulehu
Aia kahi kaʻawale kūpono a kaʻawaleʻole ma loko o Point Defiance. Aia i ka zoo kona kaʻa kaʻa kaʻawale a hiki i kahi kaʻapuni hou e hele ai ma laila. Inā hikiʻoe i ke kakahiaka nui, hiki iāʻoe ke pana ma kahi kokoke i ke komoʻana o ka zoo. Eia naʻe, hiki i kekahi mau pō ke piha i ka piha a hiki i ka hailona a piha. Inā ua piha nā kahua zoo, e alakaʻiʻiaʻoe i kahi kaʻaahi kōkua ma Owen Beach, Fort Nisqually a iʻole nā mea'ē aʻe. He mau puka kīʻaha e lawe iāʻoe i waena o nā pōmaikaʻi nui a me ka puka komo o ka hale e holo pinepine i ke ahiahi.
Hoʻokumuʻia nā Zoolights ā hiki i ka lā Kalikimaka, akāʻaʻole e helu i nā lā ma hope o ka halaʻana o ka Kalikimaka i ka lehulehu.
ʻAʻole loa! Hiki i kēia mau lā ke hana nui loa e like me nā mea a pau i heleʻole ma mua o ka Kalikimaka e ho'āʻo ana e nānā i kēia ma waho o kā lākou papahana ma mua o ka paniʻana!
Komo
Loaʻa ka uku komo no ke komoʻana i loko. He mea kūʻai ke kumukūʻai no nā lālā zoo a inā ināʻoe e kūʻai ma mua i ka zoo, kahi pūnaewele o ka zoo a maiʻole paha nā mea kūʻai likeʻole e like me Fred Meyer. ʻO nā keiki i piha i ka makahiki 2 a me ka'ōpio ke kūʻokoʻa. Loaʻa kekahi mau pahuʻai hōʻailona, inā makemakeʻoe e hele i ka zoo i ka lā.
