“With active volcanoes and dinosaurs as well as spectacular works of art brought to life through our beautiful silk lanterns, there really is something for everyone.”
He added: “We can’t wait to welcome visitors to experience a memorable evening with family and friends over the coming months!”
And Dublin Zoo Wild Lights organisers said: “There’s something for all ages, from the youngest dinosaur experts to older history buffs!
“Visitors will travel billions of years back in time, all the way to the Big Bang.
“From there, intrepid time-travellers will have the chance to roam among dinosaurs before witnessing the age of humans, the rise of ancient civilisations, and right through to modern times.
“Visitors will be transported across time as they discover the history of our planet through the ages, there’s everything from pre-historic megafauna to life-changing first inventions and even beautiful works of art from the Renaissance, all in the form of bright and colourful, eye-catching lanterns!
“Wild Lights is a magical immersive experience, perfect for friends and family members of all ages to come together and create unforgettable memories as they ‘Journey Through Time’ together.”
