Edinburgh Zoo’s Giant Lanterns returns after a six-year break, transforming the winter evenings with a new aquatic theme. Visitors walk through illuminated displays of marine life, from playful fish to intricate coral structures. The trail encourages quiet observation, with interactive elements and immersive lighting throughout the zoo’s grounds. Designed for families, adults, and individuals alike, it offers a mix of general and themed nights, creating different experiences across the season. The displays highlight the textures, colours, and scale of oceanic creatures in a tangible, illuminated form, blending art, light, and environment into a single winter spectacle.
