When you buy walk-thru tickets to the Asian Lantern Festival, you will select both a day and time you would like to visit. Tickets for the Asian Lantern Festival have timed entry, which helps ensure all guests have a safe and pleasant experience. Entry times are available every 30 minutes. Our first 6:30 p.m. time slot for each evening is the most popular; if an entry time is listed as Sold Out on the ticketing page, please try the next available time slot that evening (7 p.m. or later), or select another day.
Time on tickets indicates the half-hour range you will enter the Zoo, but does not require a specific exit time. Once admitted to the Zoo at the listed time for the event, you may stay in the park as long as preferred, or until park close at 10:30 p.m.
