Dinosaurs, jungle and safari Cologne Zoo lights up on 15 December
Cologne · A highlight of Cologne Zoo's winter programme is back this month: the China Lights Festival. This year, visitors can look forward to something new.
Cologne Zoo will soon be aglow again: the China Lights Festival starts on 15 December. According to the zoo's website, the team will be setting up a total of 75 illuminated animal and fantasy figures on the 20-hectare grounds. Visitors can admire the figures at the zoo from 5.30 p.m. to 9 p.m. until 28 January. The largest figure is the 40 metre long and six-metre-high dragon.
This year, for the time, the event will be divided into several themed zones. Visitors can go into three worlds: "Dinos", "Jungle and Safari" and the "Mystery" theme world. Just one thing is missing: The animal houses will remain closed during the evening China Lights Festival.
