Past Event
Every budding zoologist knows that the many mysteries of the animal kingdom are revealed just as the moon appears.
Step through the gates of the historic Adelaide Zoo after dark to experience a mesmerising and immersive tribute to the natural world.
Like nature at its best, this family-friendly highlight of Illuminate Adelaide continues to grow and evolve, and after two hit sell-out seasons in 2021 and 2022 you’ll be meeting new species of larger-than-life characters and interactive installations, alongside your favourites.
Witness gentle giants that wake at sunset, gaze up at floating jellyfish in the underwater world, and be swept away by the spectacle of the newest Light Creature for 2023 – the majestic golden Falcon.
So grab your friends and family, to prepare for a wild night of adventure!
