The GloWild lantern festival is set to dazzle the Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium once again this fall, featuring a new “Legends & Lore” theme. Visitors will be treated to an enchanting nighttime journey through two distinct loops: the adventure loop, with elements like Atlantis and dinosaurs, and the fantasy loop, which includes an enchanted forest and a fairy garden. The festival, in collaboration with LEKTRIK ART, promises a mile-long spectacle of intricate lighted sculptures.
Crafted by 151 artisans using over 34 tons of steel and 89,000 feet of fabric, the displays offer a one-way path filled with photo ops, concessions, and entertainment. Special features this year include access to Sobela Ocean Aquarium on Wednesdays and seasonal-themed lanterns.
