This year, the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens has added more nights to its popular Asian Lantern Festival: Into the Wild, presented by Publix. The event is extended select nights through Jan. 19, 2025, from 6 to 10 p.m.
“We are excited to offer more nights with more opportunities for people to enjoy this magical event and create memories,” CEO Richard E. Glover, Jr. “The extension through mid-January means even more chances to enjoy the lights, culture, and magic of the Asian Lantern Festival: Into the Wild!”
Guests will experience all-new, larger-than-life, hand-constructed lantern displays as they stroll a 3/4-mile loop around the Zoo. Enjoy dazzling lanterns illuminated by thousands of LED lights with interactive elements, all celebrating traditional Asian lantern festivals.
Single general admission tickets are $24.99 or save 20% on a Family 4-Pack for $80. Annual Passholders also save, with single tickets at $21 and Family 4-Packs for $72. Guests can purchase timed entry tickets here or visit https://www.centralfloridazoo.org/lanterns/ for more information.

Tickets must be purchased online for designated timed entry. Exclusive food and beverage items will be available for purchase.
On January 7 and 14, the festival will hold special sensory nights. With sensory-friendly modifications to create an inclusive environment, guests of all abilities can enjoy the lantern displays.
