"Donald Trump's tariffs are making it a zoo out there on Americans' finances, as the Oakland Zoo's holiday spectacular Glowfari is more expensive this year because of Trump's tariffs on illuminated display equipment from China. We have many times conceded that Oakland has a better zoo than San Francisco, because they take in and rescue so many injured and neglected animals, and because of their annual light-up holiday festival called Glowfari."
"Looking at the Glowfari tickets page, the most affordable single adult tickets we could find were $30.75. Of course, these ticket prices vary pretty substantially depending on the night of the week, and that $30.75 price was only available on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 2-3. Every other night that has available tickets has higher prices, but $30.75 was the affordable price we could find listed for this year's holiday season."
Tariffs on imported Chinese illuminated display equipment increased Oakland Zoo's Glowfari costs by an estimated $100,000. Glowfari opened this past Friday in its sixth consecutive year with spectacularly colored lit lanterns depicting animals and Bay Area landmarks. Oakland Zoo officials estimated the added cost resulted directly from the tariffs but proceeded with the display to provide joy and fun to the community. The most affordable single adult tickets found were $30.75, available only on select weeknights; ticket prices vary substantially by night with higher prices on other dates.
