A magical winter tradition returns as Edinburgh Zoo lights up once again for its Giant Lanterns trail. Wander through glowing animal sculptures and illuminated underwater scenes, each one hand-crafted by skilled artisans.
The after-dark experience covers sixty sparkling nights, with themed evenings, quiet sessions, and adult-only dates through the season.
A family-friendly highlight of Edinburgh’s festive calendar — and one of the city’s most photographed nights out.
