Edinburgh Zoo’s immersive Giant Lanterns trail is returning this winter with the theme of a magical space safari. After a run last winter, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) will again be transforming the zoo from November 2026 to February 2027 with a cosmic glow up of colour, creativity and wonder.
Over 600 lanterns will shine a light on the wildlife with an interstellar twist, from celestial planets to galactic jungles. Visitors can enjoy a journey through the Milky Way, where out-of-this-world creatures explore galaxies in a mile-long nocturnal trail.
Edinburgh Zoo’s Giant Lanterns will engage visitors of all ages with animals and science, supporting the wildlife conservation charity’s vital ongoing efforts to protect, value and love nature. Discounted early bird tickets to journey beyond the stars are now available for a limited time here.
