This year’s event promises to be a mix of “brand-new lanterns and themed zones, along with some returning fan favorites.” Visitors will be wowed by giant illuminated species like parrots, toucans, spiders, pandas, and even mythical creatures like a dragon and pegasus. There will also be some illuminated flowers.

Tickets are on sale now with ticket prices fluctuating depending on weekdays versus weekends and peak times. Keep in mind, if you are a Woodland Park Zoo member you will receive 20% off your admission. So plan ahead and get ready to enjoy one of the most visually expansive light displays of the season.
