Illuminating the wild at Adelaide Zoo
Step through Adelaide Zoo after dark to experience a mesmerising and immersive tribute to the natural world.
Like nature at its best, our sell-out event continues to grow and evolve, and in 2023 you’ll be meeting new species of larger-than-life characters and interactive installations, alongside your favourites.
Witness gentle giants that wake up at sunset, gaze up at floating jellyfish in the underwater world, and be swept away by the spectacle of the newest Light Creature – the Falcon!
Grab your friends and family, and prepare for a wild night of adventure.
29 June – 23 July
Thursday – Sunday
