\"\"Twycross Zoo Holiday Lantern display \u2013 SWNS<\/p>\n

A stunning display illuminated by more than 2,000 lanterns spread over a mile is being called Britain\u2019s largest Holiday lights display.<\/p>\n

Thousands of visitors have been flocking to Twycross Zoo, in Warwickshire, England, to see their dazzling spectacle called Lanterns Of The Wild, since it opened on November 14.<\/p>\n

Thousands of hand-crafted and hand-painted lanterns lead visitors along the mile-long trail meandering through the zoo to transport visitors into rainforests and ocean habitats and plants.<\/p>\n

Depicting thousands of animals, the zoo installations depict ten immersive wild habitats inspired by tropical rainforests, icy tundras, deep oceans, and African savannas.<\/p>\n

The trail also includes a giant Mount Rushmore display in six sections, with a bison and moose grazing in the foreground.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the show\u2026<\/p>\n
