Glowild at Paignton Zoo
Paignton Zoo's biggest event yet!
17th November - 2nd January | Entry begins from 5pm
They will be ending their centenary year in style with the biggest ever festive event! Join Paignton Zoo after dark for an immersive light experience featuring a variety of beautiful, interactive light installations, entertainers and a silent disco.
"An immersive light experience!"
The journey will begin with a giant illuminated storybook inviting you to step into another magical world… from there you will adventure around the zoo and be amazed by a variety of bright, colourful and interactive light installations.
The experience includes lasers, fibre optics and kaleidoscope projectors. There will be giant lit-up trees and tunnels, a magical wishing well, playful lit-up creatures and much more.
"History with the blue hue!"
Visitors may notice that the colour blue is a common theme and this fondly links back to our founder Herbert Whitley. Whitley had a fascination with the colour blue, and over the years he selectively bred a whole host of blue flowers and animals. It’s been 100 years since Whitley first opened our zoo gates and this light experience is set to honour his legacy and celebrate our biggest-ever milestone.
