The spectacular Wild Lights experience at Dublin Zoo is set to make a return this winter.

The amazing lights show will take zoo visitors on a trip "around the world" where guests will be able to see some of the most famous global landmarks.

For the first time ever, the Wild Lights show will extend into the African Plains.

Speaking about Wild Lights, Dr Christoph Schwitzer, Director of Dublin Zoo, said: "We are delighted to announce the return of the award-winning Wild Lights to Dublin Zoo for 2021."

"It’s incredibly exciting to welcome visitors back to experience a brand-new theme, where they can explore some of the world’s most spectacular landmarks."

Through a stunning display of giant colourful silk lanterns, guests will embark on a breath-taking journey taking in the famous sights from all the continents, even exploring outer space, without ever leaving the grounds of Dublin Zoo. (Patrick Bolger)
