Chattanooga Zoo in Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee, opens its fifth annual Asian Lantern Festival: Wildlife Wonderland on November 18, running through January 23, 2027. The zoo, at 301 North Holtzclaw Avenue, lights up Wednesday through Sunday evenings, listed in the zoo's guide as 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Every lantern this year is new: hundreds of hand-crafted silk lanterns form nearly 50 scenes, rising up to 16 feet tall, depicting dashing leopards, charging elephants, sleeping koalas, playful pandas, and even dinosaurs, with interactive displays such as swings and seesaws. The zoo notes that most resident animals will not be visible at night and some indoor habitats will be closed, though some nocturnal species may appear.
Opening-weekend extras are free with admission: the Chien Hong School of Kung Fu performs a traditional lion dance on November 20 at 7 and 8 p.m. and November 21 at 6 and 7 p.m., and a make-your-own lantern craft runs November 20 and 21 while supplies last. Extra nights are added for Thanksgiving week (November 22 to 28, including Thanksgiving Day), Christmas week (December 20 to 26, except December 25), and New Year's week (December 27 to January 2).
Tickets are $19 for member adults and $14 for children ages 3 to 12; $23.50 and $17.50 for non-members; and $16.50 per person for groups of 15 or more. Children 2 and under are free but still need a reserved ticket.
