Start the Holidays: Wild Lanterns at the Zoo!

I’m not sure exactly what about 2020 cemented, and deeply entrenched, my role as sole family event planner, but to get us out of the house during what was supposed to be the Year of Adventure, I always have a half-baked plan moldering somewhere.

Tonight, it was to see the new WildLanterns at Woodland Park Zoo.

I loved it! Pretend it didn’t cost <$100 for the 5 of us (just focus on the needed financial support of a beloved zoo), and enjoy the magic world it creates around you.

Using reserved time slots and a one way path around the zoo, this quarantine-approved outing got five thumbs up, an almost unheard of rating from this family with two very contrary youngers. It was both novel and beautiful and I appreciate the kick-off to a much needed festive season.
