Blank Park Zoo’s Wild Lights Festival presented by MidAmerican Energy Company will feature 50 handcrafted, larger-than-life, illuminated animal shaped Asian lanterns. This year’s festival features underwater themed animals, giant insects, Asian mythical creatures and endangered animals.
“This is a magical all-new experience of light and culture,” said Anne Shimerdla, president and CEO of Blank Park Zoo. “It’s exciting to see Blank Park Zoo transformed.”
Shimerdla said guests will be wowed this year by a 75-foot-long sunflower tunnel and a giant 33-foot-wide octopus.
Also new this year: Blank Park Zoo will hold a one-day sale on March 8. Tickets will be discounted up to 40 percent at www.blankparkzoo.com.
Blank Park Zoo is presenting this festival in partnership with Tianyu Arts & Culture. Over three million visitors have seen Tianyu Arts & Culture events across the United States.
