Atlanta’s cherished holiday tradition, Illuminights, is back and better than ever! This year, the Zoo is transforming into a nighttime wonderland with new lanterns and experiences that showcase the wonders of nature.

Take a mile-long stroll of stunning contemplation of the wildlife of our planet and creatures of our imagination, from luminous leopards to a towering fiery phoenix. There are lanterns around every corner of the Zoo this holiday season. Warm up with hot cocoa (signature holiday spirits available for ages 21 and up) and make merry with a marshmallow roast by the fire. And around every corner, find photo ops sure to sparkle on your social.

While most animals go indoors for the night, a select few species who typically spend time in their habitats after dark may be visible. These may include giant pandas (indoor dayroom habitats), Chilean flamingos, and Huacaya alpacas.
