L.A. Zoo Lights: Animals Aglow opens Nov. 13 night with a “holiday themed wonderland” that zoo officials say is a “weird and wonderful world of plants and pollinators featuring larger than life birds, butterflies, insects and flowers; glowing lanterns depicting wildlife of Southeast Asia; and an African landscape that includes representation of the continent’s iconic regions and wildlife.”
Running through Sunday, Jan. 11, the night event includes large-scale lantern sculptures of animals and other natural elements, which are illuminated with LED lights and placed along a mile of pathways. The displays are showed after the zoo is closed to the public.
