“Zoominations” is Lowry Park Zoo’s nighttime Chinese Latern festival. This was perfect Monday night play-date for our little Padwan and Zombie as the colors kept them amazed.
We got there pretty early and got to see the lanterns during sunset and later when it was fully dark out. The lights are beautiful but the park is pretty small as most animals have been put away for the day. A few pretty neat ones that we did get to see were the Indian Rhino and the Clouded leopard!
The zoo also offers two show times for the Chinese Acrobats acts at 7:00 and 9:00 pm. Hubs and our special guest Jeff got the opportunity to be a part of the show honorary circus entertainers; minus the rainbow afro.
BEWARE: At-the-door prices are far higher than I would pay BUT lucky for us there’s a
Groupon which gets two people in for $25.00!
While I'm sure most parents would prefer to make this a weekend trip; we like a little adventure and went for mini-road trip on a Monday night! Packed with play-mates, ice cream, lights, and animals. What’s not to love about this budget-friendly option to get the kids away from the mundane for an night!
