Tickets go on sale tomorrow!

  If there was any doubt that summer is in the bin, it should be firmly gone now that Dublin Zoo have announced their Wild Lights theme for 2022. The winter-y event is all about 'The Magic of Life' this year, focusing on the importance of biodiversity. Visitors will travel along a one-way trail past illuminated woodland scenes before encountering wondrous pollinators including giant bees and beehives.

And for those worried about the energy crisis, Wild Lights will be powered by hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), derived from 100% renewable raw materials. HVO eliminates up to 90% of greenhouse gas emissions. Wild Lights will also run by one less hour every evening. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciuh-X5PBq5/   If this sounds like a bit of you, make sure you're on the Dublin Zoo site tomorrow, 21st September at 11am to secure tickets for Wild Lights this year.
