Let's Celebrate “The Wild” Theme

As you visit each location, the animals change and transport guests to experience from throughout the world.

Witness cheetahs, jumping dolphins, majestic cranes and travel back in time with our dinosaurs. Travel the globe by walking through America, Oceania, Asia, Antarctica, and Africa.

From modest origins of paper and silk, the Chinese lantern has evolved into wondrous shapes and sizes — turquoise and aqua-marine giant jellyfish, brilliant straw-colored and black-spotted cheetahs, glowing orange and green praying mantis, and ladybugs the size of small children.

The Magical Chinese Lantern Festival boasts lively entertainment, traditional crafted, interactive fun. A delightful family cultural event.
