WildLanterns

WildLanterns returns to Woodland Park Zoo, offering a unique outdoor illumination experience. This annual event transforms the zoo grounds into a vibrant display of larger-than-life animal lanterns and cultural scenes, blending art, nature, and light. It's a chance to see the zoo in a different way, focusing on visual spectacle rather than live animal viewing, with new installations often featured each year. This specific date, Sunday, December 20, 2026, marks an evening viewing at the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA. The format is a walking tour through the illuminated exhibits, suitable for families and anyone looking for a visually engaging, relaxed evening out during the holiday season.
