Wednesday, October 22, 2025
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Philadelphia Zoo is taking things to new heights during this year's LumiNature celebrations.

The zoo says a 110-foot "Pherris Wheel" will make its debut this year.

The ride will overlook the city from the location where the 6abc Zoo balloon once floated.

LumiNature features more than a million holiday lights every year.

The event flips the switch on Thursday, November 20 and runs through January 3, 2026.
