Nearly two dozen dragons have been spotted arriving at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo’s Waterfowl Lake ahead of summer! Beginning on May 2, guests can experience the all-new Dragons Landing with more than 20 animatronic mythical creatures along the Zoo’s Waterfowl Lake. Guests can get up close to giant dragons that span up to 30 feet long and watch as they roar and breathe smoke during this limited-time adventure. 

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is also excited to welcome back Swan Voyage this summer, offering guests the opportunity to paddle on the picturesque Waterfowl Lake aboard Trumpeter Swan paddle boats. Perfect for families and groups, these five-passenger boats provide a peaceful way to experience the heart of the Zoo. 

"Dragons Landing brings an entirely new limited-time adventure to the Zoo, offering guests an up-close, otherworldly experience into the mythical land of dragons,” said Dr. Chris Kuhar, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo’s Executive Director. “The immersive experience, along with the return of Swan Voyage, offer families more ways to explore the heart of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo this summer.” 

Both Dragons Landing and Swan Voyage are add-on experiences at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and tickets may be purchased at several locations throughout the Zoo including at the Guest Resource Center and three other attraction ticket stations.

Admission to Dragons Landing is $3 for members, $4 for non-members per experience. General Zoo admission is also required. Dragons Landing is included in the Wild Savings Pass presented by CPP, which gives guests access to Dragons Landing, and one-day unlimited rides on the Circle of Wildlife Carousel, Boomerang Line train rides and 4-D Theater. Wild Savings Pass holders will save a dollar off Swan Voyage, Eagle Zip Adventure and giraffe and bird feeding experiences. Swan Voyage boat rentals are $15 for members and $20 for non-members. The Wild Savings Pass also includes a keepsake KeyBank Adventure Key to explore more than a dozen new Adventure Key interactive learning stations throughout the zoo and at all five Cleveland Metroparks Nature Centers.
