Wild lights at Dublin Zoo.
Family night out. Absolutely fabulous. The design and detail on all the displays is outstanding. We’ll worth a visit, highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic evening me and my daughter went to see the spectacular Wild Lights event will definitely be going back again next year.

We went for the lights show December 2025 and it breath taking! I have visited many lights shows but this one takes the cake.
We were visiting family but I would say if we lived there I would do anything Dublin Zoo has to offer based on the quality of this show!
Honestly photos don’t do it justice, thoroughly enjoyed our night out.

We’ve went every year since Wild Lights have started and we have turned it into a family tradition since my nephew was born 4 years ago (my son & a niece have been added since) and it gets better and better every year!
All the staff are very friendly and helpful. We’ll be back!!
