Asian Lantern Festival: Into the Wild

The Asian Lantern Festival is back for the fourth time at Central Florida Zoo.

Leu Gardens will transform once again into a stunning, winter wonderland featuring a million dazzling lights, shining forests, magical displays, music and beautiful sculptures. Dazzling Nights is a family-friendly experience where guests get to immerse themselves in an interactive holiday experience.

Dinos in Lights

If your kids love dinosaurs, then they will love Dinos in Lights. Dinos in Lights is playing at the Orlando Science Center through the holidays. A few of the dinosaurs in the dinosaur exhibit are lit up in lights, including T-Rex, all day, but every half hour starting at 11 am there is a special holiday light show featuring the dinosaurs and festive music.

Holiday Nights is a brand new holiday lights event at Island H20. Island H20 transforms into a wonderland of lights that families can walk through. In addition to the lights, Holiday Nights will also feature live entertainment on select nights, visits with Santa, a holiday train ride, an elf scavenger hunt and a foam party.
