BOSTON (WHDH) – If you’re looking for something to brighten up your night – you might want to head over to the Franklin Park Zoo for Boston Lights.

A new, immersive display is taking the classic light show to a whole new level.

“We find a lot of jaw marks on the ground because everybody’s jaws are just dropping when they go through this,” said John Lenahan, president and CEO of Zoo New England. “These are really works of art. It really is one photo op after another.”

The shining sculptures focus on four different themes. Dive in to an underwater world, marvel at bright flower blooms, and then journey through China and India.

“The reaction is really of pure joy. You look at some of these lanterns and you say, ‘How do they make that happen?’ There’s really a lot of technology behind it,” Lenahan said.

Lenahan invited 7News to wander through a mile and a half of dazzling displays.

“It takes a solid month, seven days a week, for installation,” he said. “I think we had 42 tractor trailers that came to the zoo and dropped off materials.”

There are so many lanterns to look at. It might be hard to pick a favorite.

“For me it was the shark mouth and entering the shark mouth,” one visitor said.

“Probably the bars with the fish on top,” said another.

“I really like the peacocks and how they’re constantly changing colors,” a third said.

As for the animals — they’re trading in the bright lights for a good night’s sleep.

“Our animals, for the most part, are behind the scenes at these hours, having their dinner, getting ready for bed. So you don’t see that many animals,” said Lenahan.

But you will see a lot of smiles.

“It brings together all kinds of people into an experience that is interactive and is fun for everybody,” Lenahan said.

Sweet memories… coming to light.

Boston Lights is open every night now through Nov. 3, from 5 to 10:30 p.m. You can buy tickets online or at the door.

Bruins forward Elias Lindholm is enjoying almost everything about his time in Boston.

“It’s been good. I’ve obviously been here for a month now,” Lindholm told reporters Thursday, per team-provided video. “I think the weather has been nice. The city’s been really nice to explore and settle into our place. It’s — you know, so far, so good.”

How about the traffic?

“It’s a little different than I’m used to,” he admitted. “I’m not a huge fan, but I’ll get through it.”

Lindholm — despite the obvious drawback of driving in a city that was meant to be navigated by horse-drawn carriage — had nothing but positive things to say about getting acclimated to his new surroundings. He signed a seven-year deal in free agency, joining the Bruins to presumably fill a top-six center role that has needed upgrading since the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci.

The B’s need someone to play alongside David Pastrnak, after all.

“He’s one of the best players in the league,” Lindholm said of Pastrnak. “If that’s the case, it’s super exciting. We’ll see what’s going to happen. There’s a lot of good players on this team, and that’s why I wanted to come here. I think we have a good chance to do something special. And obviously you always want to win. And I feel like, right here, we have a good chance.”

The Bruins need production from their top lines, and hope Lindholm can provide that with a bounce-back season in Black and Gold.

Lindholm accounted for just 44 points in 2023-24, but has attributed some of his downtick in production to a midseason trade that left him in limbo entering the offseason. He’s going to be in Boston for a while, though, so as long as he can learn to live with the traffic, he should find comfort in playing with some of the most talented players in the world.

A man is accused of trying to lure two girls selling lemonade into his van in Boston’s Charlestown neighborhood on Wednesday, police said.

The incident happened at about 11 a.m. on Soley and Warren streets, according to Boston police, who said the man approached the sisters and told them they were pretty and offered to bring them to Whole Foods to buy more lemonade.

Feeling uncomfortable, the girls ran home to tell their father about the interaction, police said.

The man was described as short, heavy set and about 60 years old, wearing a tank top and camo colored shorts.

He was driving a gray colored work van, according to police.

Police say they’re still searching for the man and van.
