By popular demand, Glow Wild Lantern Festival is lighting up the night for one more magical weekend! Join us at Peoria Zoo May 2–4 as we extend the festival and give families a few extra nights to experience the breathtaking beauty, cultural artistry, and unforgettable memories of this dazzling event.

Wander through vibrant displays of handcrafted Chinese lanterns, savor themed food and drinks, and enjoy family-friendly activities under the stars. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or coming back for another glow-filled adventure, don’t miss your last chance to celebrate spring with us!

What to Expect:

• Dazzling Lantern Displays: Marvel at breathtaking lantern creations inspired by animals, flora, and fantastical scenes, illuminating the zoo pathways with vibrant beauty.
• Interactive Activities: Enjoy nightly family-friendly activities and entertainment.
• Themed Food & Beverages: Savor delicious treats and refreshments to complement your magical evening.
• *For those who come earlier in the evening, enjoy the activities, food and beverage while watching the sunset over our African savannah- it’s the perfect spot to see the lights come aglow at dusk! We recommend staying past sunset for the best glow experience.
