Dublin Zoo has announced this year's theme for Wild Lights with tickets due to go on sale very soon.
Kicking off on November 16 and continuing through to January 2024, the public will be wowed by The Enchanted Zoo, which includes fairies, mythical creatures, vibrantly coloured animals, a gnome village and even a dreamlike candy land. This year's silk lanterns are sure to be a hit with all the family.
On arrival, visitors will be greeted by the enchanted Wizard and invited to choose their own adventure from a choice of three pathways to explore first. Each pathway offers a magical gateway to showcase the secret life of Dublin Zoo at night.
