Date/Time:

WildLanterns runs November 13, 2026 – January 17, 2027, from 4-9 p.m. nightly (last entry at 8:30 p.m.), except for the following closed evenings:

• November 16–18, 23, 26, 30

Low Sensory Nights:

Low Sensory Nights are held on November 15, December 1, 2026, and January 10, 2027.

WildLanterns is proud to offer special Low Sensory Nights designed for guests who prefer a quieter, more relaxed experience. On these evenings, we’ll lower the volume of music and sound effects, reduce flashing lights, and create a more peaceful atmosphere throughout the lantern displays. This event is designed for sensory comfort for all guests and families looking for a gentler way to enjoy the magic of WildLanterns.

Zoomazium will transform into Zoomazium Nightlights presented by Kaiser Permanente, a low-sensory space featuring dim lighting and gentle sounds in the background. There will also be several themed activities like neon coloring and rotating activities each night at 6:30 p.m.

Location: Woodland Park Zoo
