The Philadelphia Zoo is once again lighting up the holiday season with LumiNature! Philly Live’s Astrid Martinez shares all about the dazzling displays that adorn the nation’s first zoo.
LumiNature, an immersive nighttime display, has returned to the Philadelphia Zoo this winter to bring holiday cheer.
This is your chance to see millions of twinkling lights across over a dozen massive displays, walk the paths, enjoy the sights, and see performers in glowing animal-themed costumes.
Unfortunately, you will not see any animals during your visit because most will be sleeping inside their indoor exhibits.
Displays include a 22-foot-tall butterfly tree covered in 4,000 butterflies, a 40-foot-tall penguin glowing with 40,000 lights, a shimmering vine wall featuring 20,000 lights, and so much more.
