About This Event

Brand new for 2026, Wild Lights transforms Bristol Zoo Project after dark with an immersive lights trail. Wander beneath star tunnels and kaleidoscope arches, past neon animals, glowing moonscapes and a giant stained-glass butterfly, and see the zoo’s historic mansion house illuminated for the first time. Along the way, families can stop off at the fully lit Explorers Basecamp playground. Then warm up with a hot chocolate or festive treats and toast marshmallows at the fire pit. Located just 30 minutes from central Bristol with easy M5 access and free parking. Every ticket supports Bristol Zoo Project’s conservation work in the UK and around the world.
