What Happens After Dark? | WildLanterns 2025

Описание: Looking for exciting things to do in Seattle in winter 2025?

Experience WildLanterns at Woodland Park Zoo—a dazzling walk through of glowing animal and nature-themed lanterns that transforms the zoo into a luminous lightscape after dark. Wild Lanterns is one of Seattle’s most popular holiday light displays, perfect for anyone searching for Christmas lights in Seattle or winter family events. The event runs from November 14, 2025 through January 18, 2026, with entry each evening from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

During the day, Woodland Park Zoo operates as usual — but at 3:00 p.m. the gates close, guests leave, and the grounds are reset for the nighttime display. WildLanterns requires a separate ticket from regular zoo admission if you want to see the animals and lanterns during the day, and the lanterns lit-up in the evening.

This footage was filmed during the 2024 WildLanterns season. While the 2025 event will feature some all-new displays, the overall experience, route, and atmosphere will be very similar to what you see here.

Dress for the weather, book weekend tickets early, and prepare to explore the zoo in a whole new light!
