Maryland Zoo Lights Up The Night With Spring Illuminations
See the Maryland Zoo light up the night in a new way during Spring Illuminations. Starting on Friday, April 4, animal sculptures made of light create a breathtaking, immersive festival of animal sculptures.
Visitors to Spring Illuminations will stroll the Zoo’s campus through mesmerizing, larger-than-life displays of floral and animal-themed artworks made of steel, silk, and high-efficiency LED lighting, created by the world-renowned company Tianyu Arts & Culture—the largest Chinese lantern festival producer in North America.
The after-hours event occurs 6-10 p.m. evenings when the Zoo is usually closed.
Guests to Spring Illuminations will enjoy:
- special nighttime admission to the Zoo,
- member discounts (for new or existing Zoo members),
- free parking,
- interactive photo opportunities,
- Asian-inspired food and drinks.
There will be a preview night for Zoo members on Thursday, April 3, and the experience will open to the general public on Friday, April 4. This unique opportunity lasts until the end of June.
All Spring Illuminations ticket sales proceeds benefit the Zoo’s animal care and conservation programs. (Tickets do not include daytime Zoo admission, and Zoo animals will not be viewable.)
Adult ticket prices for non-members are $28. Children ages 2-11 are $18. Members save $3 off of the adult ticket price.
