The Amazing Lights of the Asian Lantern Festival
Want to go on a great summer adventure? Check out the Asian Lantern Festival at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! Lots of spectacular light displays amidst the animal exhibits at the zoo. When the sun goes down, the lights come on and the zoo is transformed into a spectacular garden of luminosity! The Festival goes on now through Aug. 25. Experience the wonder of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo illuminated after dark with live acrobatic performances every hour on the Fifth Third Bank Stage, a variety of culturally-inspired cuisine at the MetroHealth Asian Food Market, and all-new lantern displays including a 50-foot-tall pagoda and themed areas like the Blooming Gardens presented by CrossCountry Mortgage. On select nights, guests will be able to drive through the festival from the comfort of their personal vehicles.
