Let the wonders of illuminated animals guide you through the Lantern Festival. As you visit each location, the animals change and transport guests to experience locations throughout the world.
Witness cheetahs, jumping koi fish, majestic cranes and travel back in time with our dinosaurs. Travel the globe by walking through America, Oceania, Asia, Antarctica, and Africa. From their modest origins of paper and silk, the Chinese lantern has evolved into wondrous shapes and sizes — turquoise and aqua-marine giant jellyfish, brilliant straw-colored and black-spotted cheetahs, glowing orange and green praying mantis, and ladybugs the size of small children.
The Festival begins November 15 and runs eight weeks, Thursday through Sunday evenings plus Holidays from 5:30 pm-10 pm until closing day on Sunday, January 6, 2019. (Last admission at 9:20 p.m.)
Tickets cost ~ $13 – $21
