The Dublin Double Ticket
The EPIC & Wild Lights Dublin Double Ticket allows visitors to enjoy both the award-winning EPIC Museum and Dublin Zoo’s stunning Wild Lights event, offering a saving 15% for visitors when purchased together as a bundle.
Start at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin’s award-winning interactive cultural experience. Swipe through video galleries, take part in motion-sensor quizzes, and collect stamps in your own “passport” as you explore what being Irish really means – whether you’re into music, science, sport, literature, or technology. Then take a breather at one of the many cafés in the CHQ Building for a warm drink or treat before heading out into the evening air.
Wild Lights: The Wild Kaleidoscope
Just a short Luas ride away, step into the glowing world of Wild Lights: The Wild Kaleidoscope at Dublin Zoo – a spectacular celebration of colour, wildlife and creativity that lights up the night. Visitors can enjoy both experiences with the EPIC & Wild Lights Dublin Double Ticket, offering a 15% discount when purchased together – the perfect way for families, couples and friends to make lasting memories while exploring two of Dublin’s most magical attractions.
New Highlights for Wild Lights 2025
- 13 stunning zones bursting with colour and wonder – where playful red pandas, elegant flamingos, and charming emperor penguins await…

- Spectacular Grand Finale: This year’s dazzling event will culminate with the tallest lantern ever featured at Wild Lights, and one of the largest of its kind in Europe. A breath taking finale, it will be the glowing highlight of an unforgettable evening.
A Journey from Past to Present
