Lanterns of the Wild
An after-dark illuminated lantern trail around the zoo grounds, opening once the daytime zoo has closed at 3pm. It is entirely outdoors on surfaced paths, so warm layers and a torch-free hand for little ones are sensible, and entry is by timed slot. The Himalaya Centre shop, café and toilets stay open until the trail closes.

Event information
- When
- 6 Nov 2026 – 21 Feb 2027 — Trail opens 4:30pm; latest entry 8pm; closes 90 minutes after last entry. Last-entry times vary by night. Dates '6th Nov 2026 - 21st Feb 2027' quoted from the zoo's own events listing. Runs past the end of the requested window. I could not find Twycross Zoo's postal address or postcode on any official page I fetched (opening times, getting here, contact and home pages all omitted it), so both are null rather than guessed. Prices were not stated. The zoo's postal address is commonly given as Atherstone, Warwickshire even though the village of Twycross is in Leicestershire — worth checking before geocoding.
