One of the first exhibits that we encountered upon entering WildLanterns at the zoo’s west entrance was the massive Wisteria Corridor tunnel that features radiant pink flowers hanging from above. It makes quite a statement! The tunnel was a very popular display. You’re likely to find crowds of people inside enjoying the soft glow and taking selfies...
When it comes to the exhibit’s Asian Safari, the kings of the forest appeared to be the stunning tigers, which are depicted stalking around one another and leaping over the lantern greenery, teeth bared. The tigers have a life-like quality, so don’t be surprised if you’re a little startled by their intense expressions.
Competing with the tigers for attention are the orangutans with their distinctive stances and expressive faces. The orangutan exhibit is large and features several animals in various poses among the whimsical trees and rocks.
Throughout the All About Bugs exhibit, the walkway is illuminated by dancing butterflies and flowers. The twirling images are accompanied by music, which encourages the kids (and adults) along the way to dance in the light.

Even though the nighttime temperatures were fairly mild and there was no rain when I visited, it was nice to be able to warm up at the fire rings in front of 1899 Grove, a concession area where you can order food and drinks, including hot cocoa. There are also stands located along the walkways that serve hot drinks and snacks.
