Blank Park Zoo’s Wild Lights Festival

April 5 @ 7:30 pm 10:00 pm

Blank Park Zoo’s Wild Lights Festival, presented by MidAmerican Energy Company, features nearly 50 handcrafted, larger-than-life illuminated Asian lanterns. This year’s festival includes dazzling displays of animals, insects, and plants, interactive exhibits, a private igloo experience, s’mores, and plenty of photo and selfie opportunities.

April 5 – May 26 (nightly, Wednesday – Sunday plus Memorial Day)
Time: 7:30 p.m. – 10 p.m. (last admission at 9:30 p.m.)!

For the best experience, plan to walk the path starting at sunset and allow 60-90 minutes to take it all in. Admission opens at 7:30 p.m., and guests may enter the festival anytime until 9:30 p.m.
