This year, we've expanded our footprint by illuminating a new area of the Zoo exclusively for Boston Lights guests. Prepare to be dazzled as you wander through this forested realm and beyond, surrounded by the magic of all-new lantern displays, immersive walkthroughs, enchanting interactive displays and Instagrammable moments at every turn.

Dive into an underwater paradise, where majestic sea turtles and an awe-inspiring 115-foot octopus await your discovery. Journey through an ocean tunnel surrounded by the boundless beauty of the sea, and ignite a stunning volcanic eruption of light with a simple touch. Journey to India amidst lantern scenes adorned with lotus flowers, an ornate palace, and animal lanterns including elephants, monkeys and rhinos. Discover traditional Chinese lanterns including the 76-foot "Kun,” an enormous fish brought to life from the pages of Chinese mythology. 

Don't miss nightly Chinese classical dance performances, featuring the elegant Umbrella Dance and Fan Dance, which showcase the rich cultural heritage of this ancient art form. See details and performance times below.
