Lantern designs and themes in this path have deep symbolism and historical resonance. The following path, Wildlife Wonders, emphasizes the natural worlds’ beauty, resilience and connection to all living things. The Deserts Alive highlights the adaption of inhabitants within the Coachella Valley. The following path is all about you. Let’s Glow offers photo opportunities and encourages memories on film. And lastly, The African Safari takes the opportunity to wander the African Safari Trail and see many animals at night.
Allen Monroe, CEO/President of The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, speaks out about the exhibition Glow in the Park, emphasizing that “Glow in the Park is unlike anything we’ve ever had at The Living Desert, so it’s been really exciting to see it come to life right before our eyes.” Monroe says, “Each section has its own unique theme and design and is a work of art in itself. We can’t wait for guests of all ages to experience what we hope will blossom into an annual Springtime tradition for years to come.”
