The California Living Museum (CALM), Kern County's native-species zoo and botanical garden in northeast Bakersfield, strings millions of lights across its western town and pathways for its long-running HolidayLights walk-through, now in its 23rd-plus year and named among the top zoo light shows in the U.S. by USA TODAY. Families ride the Candy Cane Express Train through the illuminated town, meet Santa at Santa's Workshop, and make crafts at ThePines Creation Stations. The event runs after the animals have bedded down, so it is a lights experience rather than an animal visit.
