Only Eight More Chances to See Our New Lanterns
|

 |
Guests have only eight more chances to see one of the largest lantern festivals in the nation — Wild Lights at the Louisville Zoo. The festival runs Thursday – Sunday evenings through June 5, 2022. Tickets are on sale at louisvillezoo.org/wildlights.
Guests will see the Zoo in a whole new light with a new lineup of lanterns, including more than 70 larger-than-life illuminated displays made of more than 2,000 silk-covered pieces lit by over 50,000 LED lightbulbs.
Visitors can embark on a journey to the far east on a 1.4-mile stroll through the Zoo alongside dramatic cultural displays that celebrate the rich heritage and craftsmanship of lantern artisans. Archways illuminate the path on a magical journey past colorful peacocks, slithering serpents and a beautiful African savanna. Majestic butterflies mark the entrance into a world of larger-than-life insects and animals from all around the world. Visitors can become part of the magic and sway on the glowing moonlight swings or step inside a larger-than-life kaleidoscope.
Wild Lights includes a variety of animal lanterns, including mammals, birds, and insects, a 98-foot-long dragon, mythical Chinese creatures, promenade walk-throughs, interactive photos ops including illuminated angel wings, color changing swings, a kaleidoscope, and many more.
This cultural experience also includes unique handcrafted goods available for purchase along with Asian-fusion treats and drinks by Service Systems Associates (SSA) – the Zoo’s food and amenity vendor.
Wild Lights is in partnership with Tianyu Arts & Culture Inc., an international event design company. Tianyu has produced 62 lantern events in 38 cities welcoming more than 4.5 million of visitors.
The event is wheelchair and stroller friendly on a paved path. Guests can enter the festival from 6:30 – 10:30 p.m. Thursday through Sunday nights through June 5.
Louisville Zoo members may purchase tickets in advance online for $17 per guest age 3 and over. Non-members may purchase general admission tickets in advance online for $20 per guest age 3 and over. Children 2 and under are free. Family Four Pack tickets are available for $55 for members and $65 for non-members in advance online only; Family Four Pack ticket buyers must enter the event together. A $6 parking fee will be added to all online ticket purchases. For more information, visit louisvillezoo.org/wildlights.
Wild Lights is sponsored by Bob Ray Company, Confucius Institute, LG&E and KU Foundation, Norton Children’s, Republic Bank and Weber Group.
All three staffed recycling drop-off locations, the Waste Reduction Center, and the Haz Bin hazardous waste disposal site, will be closed on Saturday, May 28 in recognition of the Memorial Day holiday and closed on Monday as usual.
