You’ve got to SEA this to believe it! Step into an undersea world at this year’s Zoo Luminate.

Rooted in traditional Chinese lantern art, Zoo Luminate is a visually stunning cultural experience featuring large-scale, illuminated lantern installations inspired by centuries-old Chinese craftsmanship. In partnership with Tianyu Arts & Culture, an internationally recognized producer of authentic Chinese lantern festivals, the Potawatomi Zoo will come alive with more than 60 handcrafted lantern displays, each reflecting the creativity, symbolism, and artistic heritage of Chinese culture.

Zoo Luminate is every Wednesday through Sunday, 7-11 pm.
