About this event
Discover a spectacular world where colour and wildlife collide! Spot enchanting red pandas and shimmering peacocks on a magical journey through radiant lanterns. Be sure to witness our largest lantern EVER - one of the biggest in all of Europe.
Your adventure continues at our brand-new Winter Glow Village! Savour festive delights like crêpes, pizza, and mulled wine under a canopy of enchanting lanterns. It’s the perfect place to warm up and soak in the wonder.
Plus, a limited number of Santa's Grotto experiences at Dublin Zoo remain. Create cherished Christmas memories by booking a day or night visit with Santa before it’s too late!
Step into The Wild Kaleidoscope at Dublin Zoo this winter!
