The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is proud to announce Pro-Tech Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electric is the sponsor of the popular dragon lantern.
“The dragon lantern has become a true centerpiece of the Asian Lantern Festival, and we’re thrilled to have Pro-Tech back to help bring it to life in an exciting new way this year,” said CEO Richard E. Glover Jr. “Their continued support helps us make this event more magical every season, creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.”
This wildly popular event will illuminate the Zoo beginning November 14, 2025, and run select nights through January 18, 2026.
This year’s theme invites visitors to dive into a magical fusion where ocean-inspired landscapes meet mythical creatures—from graceful ice dragons and whimsical unicorns to a new twist on the beloved showcase dragon, which will once again take center stage thanks to Pro-Tech. The shimmering display promises to capture imaginations and hearts, making this year’s festival one guests won’t soon forget.
“Pro-Tech is deeply rooted in the Orlando community, and we’re passionate about supporting events that bring people together,” said Glenn Good, General Manager. “Our commitment extends beyond home comfort; it’s about caring for homes and the people who live in them. The Asian Lantern Festival embodies that spirit of togetherness and joy, and we’re proud to play a small part in such a meaningful tradition.”
Through October 31, general admission tickets are just $24 each or $78 for a Family 4-Pack—a savings of more than 18 percent. Annual Passholders save even more with presale pricing at $20 per ticket or $70 for a Family 4-Pack.
Starting November 1, ticket prices will increase to $26.99 for general admission and $88 for a Family 4-Pack. Passholders will still enjoy discounted rates of $23 per ticket or $80 per Family 4-Pack.
Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance to lock in the best rates and secure preferred dates and times. Tickets must be purchased online for designated timed entry: 6 p.m., 7 p.m., or 8 p.m. Space is limited, and nights will sell out quickly.

There are several opportunities for groups looking to experience the magic of the event, as well. Discounted pricing is available for groups of 15 or more on a single night. Event packages with catering and private spaces are also available for corporate events or holiday parties. And there are select opportunities for full buyouts, where groups can reserve their own evening of the festival for a private experience. Those interested in group events should email events@centralfloridazoo.org.
This is the sixth year for the festival, which started in 2019 and was not held in 2020. Last year, the event once again broke attendance records, drawing an incredible 120,000 ticket sales, with so many who walked through the Zoo’s gates to experience the spectacular festival.
The festival is presented in partnership with Tianyu Arts & Culture, Inc.
