On Friday, The Dallas Zoo premiered Illuminature, its brand-new, after-hours lantern festival lighting up the Zoo on select nights this spring and summer. The immersive nighttime experience transforms the Zoo into a “luminous world of imagination,” featuring larger-than-life lanterns, glowing wildlife-inspired sculptures, interactive experiences and live performances as well as Goal Wild!, a a soccer-themed fan zone where
guests can kick, run, and score, perfectly timed for this year’s FIFA World Cup.
This is one the Dallas Zoo’s largest and more ambitious experiences and runs through June 28.
