WildLanterns

WildLanterns at Woodland Park Zoo is an immersive light and art installation, transforming the zoo grounds into an illuminated landscape. This annual event features large-scale animal lanterns and nature-inspired displays, offering a unique way to experience the zoo after dark. It's a family-friendly walk-through exhibit, distinct from a typical theater performance, focusing on visual spectacle and ambient exploration. The event runs on Tuesday, December 22, 2026, at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, WA. The format is a self-guided tour through various zones, appealing to those looking for a festive evening outing, art enthusiasts, and families seeking a visually engaging experience during the holiday season.
