Keeping safe from COVID-19 transmission is vitally important, but so is getting exercise and stimulation for the mind – and the Woodland Park Zoo has a safe, educational and inspiring way to spend time during the latest effort to restrict spreading of the coronavirus. Visit the Zoo, either to see the animals during the day or the gorgeous light display of the new WildLanterns installation in the evenings.
Woodland Park Zoo remains open for daytime visits and evening explorations, in accordance of the new Washington State public health restrictions. There will be no indoor food services, through December 14th, but food will be for sale outdoors – on a cashless system. The ZooStore will be open, but with a capacity limited to 25%
Presented by Sound Credit Union, WildLanterns is our region’s first holiday-season lantern festival. The fairytale come-to-life is a larger-than-life, immersive experience that will ‘WOW’ visitors of all ages. WildLanterns is on-display Tuesdays – Sundays from 4p – 8:30p, through January 17th, except Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Tickets to either the Zoo or WildLanterns can be purchased on the Zoo.org website (click here.) Tickets include a scheduled entry time, to limit the number of people in the Zoo and to provide adequate social distancing. WildLanterns is a rain-or-shine event.
