Zoominescence: A Festival of Light

Join us for an evening of light, love, animals, and holiday fun for the whole family!

This December, Zoominescence, hosted by the Edmonton Valley Zoo and the Valley Zoo Development Society, will stage a spectacular exhibition of artistic light installations within the unique setting of the Edmonton Valley Zoo.

The festival’s vision is to celebrate light, artistry, imagination, and the essential strong spirit of community in the winter. This year’s theme is “Celebrating 10 Years of Light, Love, and Animal Conservation” to focus on the beauty of light, the power of love, and the importance of animal conservation to support all life on Earth.

Please note that the Zoominescence hours will be the ONLY public hours for the Edmonton Valley Zoo between December 2 - January 1.

The Edmonton Valley Zoo recommends all patrons, including members, purchase and reserve their timed entry for each visit. Reserving in advance will guarantee admission and avoid line-ups. Simply, select the desired date, available time and admission type when prompted. Members, please select the $0 rate. All admission types are validated upon arrival at the facility.
