WildLanterns returns to Seattle next week with giant immersive holiday displays

The holiday season is just around the corner and what’s a better way to celebrate than with some light displays? The Woodland Park Zoo’s WildLanterns is a great deviation from your everyday red and white light displays. It’s an immersive experience featuring large animal and nature lanterns representing wild places from around the globe!

Kicking off on November 11th, WildLanterns is an opportunity to explore the zoo like never before. It’s a lantern festival unlike any in the Northwest due to its specific focus on nature and animals. No matter how old you are, you’re sure to be wowed by the size and diversity of the displays that the zoo and BECU create.
