Discover the “secret life of Dublin Zoo at night2 and take in an enthralling exhibition of “magic and wonder” with other visitors.

Fairies, fantastical animals, colourful animals, a gnome hamlet, and a "dreamlike" confectionery realm are all included in this year's exhibit, which is illuminated with exquisite silk lanterns.

Upon arrival, guests will be given the option to select one of three routes to explore first, creating their own personalised trip.

“Visitors will get a unique insight into the magical happenings that take place when the sun goes down and our nocturnal creatures come to life,” stated Dr. Christoph Schwitzer, director of Dublin Zoo.

“We believe adults will be as in awe as children when they turn every corner, and we're really looking forward to seeing the look of wonder on their faces.”

Every day from Thursday, November 16 through January, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., Wild Lights will be available to the public; Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and St. Stephen's Day are excluded.
