Tips & Advice
- Arrive before 9 pm, since that is the last admission time and entry is not available after that.
- Dress in warm layers for an evening winter visit, as Zoominescence takes place outdoors at the zoo.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes so you can move around the zoo while viewing the light installations.
- Plan your visit within the 5–10 pm event hours and leave enough time to enjoy the installations before closing.
