Nature-inspired LumiNature light show returns to Philadelphia Zoo with fever dream exhibit

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It's already looking a lot like Christmas at the Philadelphia Zoo.

The nature-inspired light show, LumiNature, opens to the public on Thursday night.

There is a new, fun addition this year: a Ferris wheel! It's 110 feet tall and gives riders the view of the Zoo, Philadelphia skyline and iconic landmarks, like the Philadelphia Art Museum.

This is the first time in the Zoo's 150-year history that a Ferris wheel has been a part of the zoo experience.

LumiNature will be open most nights through January 3.
