The wildlife lights up the night at the all-NEW IllumiNights at the Zoo: A Chinese Lantern Festival, this November 16 through January 16. Stroll through the Zoo after dark and watch as the night comes alive with more than 80 handmade lanterns – some up to 20 feet tall – depicting some of Earth’s most charismatic creatures.

Each lantern is made and hand-painted by Chinese artisans, representing thousands of hours of work. Give it a glow! Presented by Georgia Power, with additional support from Beacon Sponsor PNC.

5:30 – 9:30 p.m. (Last entry is 8:30 p.m.; certain blackout dates apply)
