What to expect...
Make it a magical winter evening at Dublin Zoo with the Wild Lights & Santa’s Grotto bundle. Begin with a timed visit to Santa in his cosy grotto, where each child receives a festive gift, then continue your night under glowing lanterns on the Wild Lights trail, themed “The Wild Kaleidoscope.” Expect 13 vibrant zones, towering showpieces and plenty of photo moments. The bundle runs alongside Wild Lights from late November through to just before Christmas. Santa experiences during Wild Lights finish at 20:00, with last entry to Wild Lights at 20:00 and the trail closing at 21:00. This is an outdoor, evening experience; most animals will be indoors after dark so the focus is on the illuminated trail. Timed tickets must be pre-booked online. A sensory-friendly evening bundle is available on 1 December, featuring reduced noise, softer lighting and limited capacity.
