Never before in the Southwest, the Chinese Lantern Festival debuted at the State Fair of Texas and re-opens for an encore starting November 1. It's an exotic visual delight - a collection of architecture, fabric flora, and fauna, including pandas, flamingos, and dinosaurs. There's a dragon made from 15,000 porcelain dishes.

The festival lights up the night, setting the lagoon and imaginations aglow. The Temple of Heaven, Statue of Liberty, animated creatures, and a huge Blossoming Lotus are among the 22 dazzling lantern sets in and around the Nature and Science Buildings and lagoon.

Monday-Wednesday: $14 for adults, $9 for kids 4-12, free for kids 3 and under.
