"ZOOMINATION, Batman, the lights are coming from the Tampa Zoo!"
A couple months ago I purchased a Groupon coupon for admission to the Zoomination Festival of Lights at the Tampa Lowry Zoo. Life happens and Brian and I did not find time to go until Father's Day. It was the LONGEST day of the year and very hot. That meant that it get dark till nearly 9 p.m. and the heat enhanced the fragrant zoo aroma. Despite the late night, long drive home and the lingering zoo smell in the car...the light display was worth seeing.
My favorite display was the Manfeilong Pagoda. It was made entirely of porcelain plates, cups and spoons. It was beautiful in the daylight and lit up in the dark.
The light displays were on the main walking paths and most of the animal areas were blocked off. Brian and I walked around all the areas before sunset and then again after dark. I couldn't stop taking pictures!
What a fun evening of bright lights and soothing oriental music. It was another Groupon success.
