Experience the Magic of GloWild

Each holiday season, the award-winning GloWild transforms the Little Rock Zoo into an unforgettable nighttime experience where dazzling handcrafted silk lanterns take center stage. As one of the Zoo’s signature annual fundraisers, every visit helps support animal care, conservation, education, and the future of the Little Rock Zoo.

Created in partnership with Tianyu Arts & Culture, GloWILD features breathtaking handcrafted silk lantern displays inspired by wildlife, nature, and imagination. Wander through glowing pathways, discover larger-than-life illuminated works of art, and experience interactive light installations that create a one-of-a-kind holiday tradition for guests of all ages.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or continuing a family tradition, you’ll discover a new reason to experience the magic while supporting the Zoo’s mission.

All proceeds from GloWild benefit the Arkansas Zoological Foundation, which exclusively supports the growth and development of the Little Rock Zoo.

More Than Lights—A Season of Special Events

On select evenings, GloWild shines even brighter with special themed nights and exclusive experiences. From festive visits with Santa to our Sensory Night and other seasonal celebrations, these limited-time events add even more magic to an already unforgettable experience—and are all included with GloWild admission.
