Begin your journey through a world of themed lanterns at the Land of Winter Wonders. Here, witness a magical snow world with glistening ice and picture yourself in one of the world's polar regions. Continue to the family-favorite Interactive Zone where illusions and games galore are sure to cause excitement. Journey on to the Fine Feathered Friends where birds are the theme; giant illuminated species include parrots and toucans. Giant spiders and a corridor of vibrant flowers are two highlights of the next display, Bugs and Blooms. Linger in the Giant Panda Parkway where you’ll observe numerous lanterns of the iconic Chinese species in a display of stunning cherry. Finally marvel at the mythical animals of Fantastic Folklore Realm, where you can find the White Dragon or Pegasus.
Every ticket sold directly will support care for the hundreds of animals who call the zoo home, as well as more than 35 wildlife conservation projects in the Pacific Northwest and around the world.
