Pueblo Holiday Lights Limo Tour: Riverwalk and ElectriCritters (2026)

Pueblo shines in December. The Historic Arkansas Riverwalk glows with lights, and the Pueblo Zoo fills with animal-shaped displays. A Pueblo holiday lights limo lets you enjoy it all in comfort. Your chauffeur handles the driving and the parking while you focus on family, friends or a special date night.

Why book a Pueblo holiday lights limo

• Warm and comfortable. Step out for the lights, then step back into a heated vehicle.
• Great for small groups. Couples, families with kids and grandparents ride together in a stretch limo, black SUV or Sprinter.
• Everyone enjoys the night. No one has to drive.
• Stay connected. WiFi in every vehicle for sharing photos with family.

The Historic Arkansas Riverwalk

The Riverwalk kicks off the season with its Holiday Lighting Extravaganza, usually on the Friday after Thanksgiving. In 2025 it was the 24th annual event, held Friday, November 28 from 5 to 7 p.m., with fireworks over Lake Elizabeth at 7 p.m. The free evening included performances, local vendors and photos with Santa. Holiday boat rides were sold in person that day at the Pueblo Toyota Riverwalk Welcome Center, 101 S. Union Avenue.

After opening night, the lights stay up for the season. In 2024, local news reported visitors could see them until mid-January. Holiday boat rides have also run on select dates in late November and early December in past years. Check the Riverwalk’s official site for the 2026 schedule before you plan a boat ride.

ElectriCritters at the Pueblo Zoo

ElectriCritters is the Pueblo Zoo’s annual walk-through light show. In 2025 it featured thousands of lights and more than 150 designs, plus hot cocoa and cookies at the Candy Cane Cafe. Hours were 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., with last admission at 8 p.m. It usually runs on weekends from late November into mid-December, then nightly in the days before and after Christmas. It is closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The 2026 dates had not been posted when we wrote this, so check the zoo’s page first.

Holiday nights for every kind of group

Families love this tour because the kids can watch for lights from the windows and nobody fights over the car seat. Couples use it as a cozy date night with dinner and a walk by the water. Grandparents appreciate a warm seat and a short walk to each stop. Small groups of friends often add a dessert stop downtown before heading home.

Making it a family tradition? Many Pueblo families plan their lights night around Nochebuena, Christmas Day or a visit from relatives. Tell us who is coming and any special needs, and we will choose a vehicle that is easy to get in and out of for everyone.

Tips for your holiday lights tour

• Book early. December weekends fill first. Weeknights are quieter at the zoo.
• Arrive near opening. The zoo’s last admission is usually 8 p.m.
• Dress warm. Both stops are outdoors. Hats, gloves and boots help.
• Check the weather. The zoo has run its light show in snow, rain or shine, but icy roads take extra time.
• Bring the grandparents. A Sprinter or limo makes it easy for every generation to come along.
