About this event
You won’t have to worry about losing out when you nab this great offer. Light up the festive season with a ticket to see the Giant Lanterns of China at Edinburgh Zoo - we’ll even throw in a hot drink and marshmallows to help warm you up a bit.
- One child or adult ticket
- The Giant Lanterns of China returns to Edinburgh Zoo this winter following the huge success of last year’s inaugural event which attracted more than 83,000 visitors
- This year’s event is inspired by the Scottish tradition of story-telling and the cultural heritage of Sichuan where the zoo’s resident giant pandas were born
- Escape into a world of folktales and fantasy with over 450 beautifully crafted lanterns lighting a magical trail through the zoo
- Hand-made steel and silk sculptures will take visitors on a completely new nocturnal trail around the premises
- Keep your eyes peeled for some of Scotland’s most magical mythical creatures including unicorns, giants, kelpies and even the Loch Ness Monster
- Alongside Nessie, creatures of past and present will be making appearance
- Baby it’s cold outside… so we’ve sorted you out with a hot drink and marshmallows to toast
“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.”
