This winter, we’re inviting you to join us for another incredible year of The Lanterns, as we bring you a magical experience that’s uniquely Chester Zoo.
Set off from the zoo and travel to distant lands, each one different to the last. Discover the tales from around the world that await you at The Lanterns 2022…
Delve into a Norwegian fairy-tale land as you encounter a multi-coloured, glowing castle towering high in the heart of the zoo and watched over by a huge white bear. Wander through giant lotus flowers, and flying dragonflies in a Japanese-inspired garden, then earn your own stripes with our zebras in an African zone.
Come face-to-face with life-size orangutan puppets along your trail, as you immerse yourself in a spectacular UV Bornean jungle. Then meet the glowing wolves surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, and a giant snow leopard guarding a snowy mountain at the end of a light tunnel.
Father Christmas will be here, who along with his reindeer will be spreading some Christmas cheer! Our Christmas Market will also return, with delicious festive treats on offer, including Yorkshire pudding wraps, festive burgers, fresh pizza and, of course, bratwurst. Delicious plant-based options will be available too.
