Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is extending the popular Asian Lantern Festival through September 17 and announced the return of Wild Ride, a one-night-only event on September 18 where guests can ride their bike through the Zoo after-hours and experience the illuminated lanterns one last time.
The Asian Lantern Festival extension includes 18 additional nights where guests can experience more than 70 all-new, large-scale lantern displays, live acrobatic performances on the Fifth Third Bank Stage, culturally-inspired cuisine at the MetroHealth Asian Food Market and a variety of interactive and themed areas including the CrossCountry Mortgage Light Zone. Tickets are on sale now for the additional walk-though and drive-through experiences.
“Already more than 100,000 guests have enjoyed this year’s Asian Lantern Festival,” says, Kelly Manderfield, chief marketing officer for Cleveland Metroparks. “We continue to evolve this event, looking for new ways our guests can experience the zoo. This year’s Wild Ride is sure to be memorable, allowing our guests to see the lanterns like never before.”
