Multicolored LED animal lanterns will illuminate winding paths across the Zoo, creating a glowing journey you won’t forget.

This after-hours event also includes jaw-dropping custom performances, access to Zoo rides like Tidal Twist and our historic carousel, select animal areas, interactive photo ops, and rolling celebrations with Zoo Character Ambassadors.
