The Birmingham Zoo is inviting the community to join us for a new larger than life illuminated experience, Glow Wild: An Animal Lantern Celebration! This extraordinary event will be held on select nights during the months of November, December, and January.
Guests will be captivated by visually stunning lantern creations of wildlife from around the world. The Zoo will come alive with hundreds of marvelous animal shapes of all sizes–from pandas, elephants, cheetahs, polar bears, and whales–soaring up to 30 feet high! Glow Wild offers something for everyone to enjoy! Take a wild ride around the Zoo on the train and go for a spin on the carousel.
Perfect for the entire family, Glow Wild will be held from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. starting Wednesday, November 18 until Monday, January 18, 2021.
