Running from November through to February, the event offers visitors another way to make the most of Edinburgh's winter season, and a family-friendly experience away from the bustle of the city centre.
Beyond the lantern trail, Edinburgh Zoo is home to more than 2,500 animals from around the world, making it well worth exploring during your visit. Guests may encounter everything from playful penguins and towering Nubian giraffes to Sumatran tigers, koalas, red pandas, meerkats and more, while discovering the zoo’s important work to protect wildlife and endangered species.
Wrap up warm and make Giant Lanterns part of a winter break in Edinburgh, whether you're visiting for the festive season, a family getaway or a few days discovering the city.
