Why zoos use them

Why Zoos Host Light Festivals

Zoos already have the theme, the animals and the family audience. A light festival adds a night-time layer to the existing programme: seasonal events that open the park after hours and give visitors a reason to return.

  • Seasonal Events
    A winter or summer highlight added to the annual calendar.
  • Night-Time Programming
    The park becomes a different destination after dark.
  • Animal Storytelling
    Lanterns built around the species and stories in your collection.
  • Themed Visitor Routes
    Guided paths that structure the evening experience.
  • Family Experiences
    Walkable, photogenic events for all ages.
  • Photography & Sharing
    Landmark pieces that promote the event naturally.

We do not quote attendance or revenue figures. Performance depends on your market, pricing and promotion.

Animal-themed installations

Lanterns Built Around Your Collection

Animal lanterns are developed from your species list and references, so the night event feels like part of the zoo, not a generic light show.
