Gather your group and step into the Lantern Lounge, a cozy and unforgettable dining experience available exclusively during the evenings of Brookfield Zoo Chicago’s Glow Wild. From March 19 through May 10, these private, heated, igloo-style domes offer the perfect retreat for groups of up to 12 guests looking to relax, connect, and enjoy the magic of the festival together.
Each dome provides a warm, weather-proof space where your group can savor Asian-inspired cuisine while surrounded by the glow and color of the lantern displays just outside. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, planning a group outing, or simply taking a break from exploring, the Lantern Lounge transforms your Glow Wild visit into a shared, elevated experience.
