Light Trails
Lanterns of the Wild
Lanterns of the Wild returns to Twycross Zoo this winter, a mile-long illuminated trail through the Leicestershire zoo after dark. Visitors explore thousands of handcrafted glowing lanterns depicting animals and habitats while walking at their own pace. The trail is step-free and takes around 60 to 90 minutes to complete. SEN-friendly evenings with reduced capacity, gentler lighting, and calm spaces run on selected dates for families needing quieter experiences.
