“Just beautiful! A lovely stroll around a well-laid out display of animal, insect, plant and flower lanterns and the Temple of Heaven display. Gorgeous!”

“The lanterns are fabulous and complete works of art; young and old, we all loved them. We spent close to 3 hours at the zoo which included a warm-up drink in the café.”

“This exhibition is breathtaking. It completely exceeded my expectations. The lanterns are beautiful and there were so many of them - worth every penny.”
