Explore the Saint Louis Zoo in the evenings at the new Animals Aglow exhibit. Bring your family to experience the luminous glow of 50 towering lanterns depicting animals, plants and traditional Chinese elements. Don't miss this celebration of culture and art!
See dozens of hand-constructed lantern displays illuminated by thousands of LED lights all around the Zoo. Plus, guests can enjoy nightly Chinese cultural performances. Lanterns are designed to represent the four key biomes: the ocean, rainforest, polar region and prairie.
