See 125+ Holiday Light Installations at Edmonton Valley Zoo Starting December 5

Zoominescence is lighting up the Edmonton Valley Zoo once again, running on select evenings from December 5 to January 4, 2025.

This magical festival is the perfect winter outing for families. This year, there are more than 125 sparkling art installations at Edmonton Valley Zoo. Kids and adults alike will be amazed by the lights, colors, and creativity throughout the walkways.

What to see at Zoominescence 2025

Keep an eye out for Eric Nocente’s Night Flight, a glowing sculpture inspired by the North American Barn Owl, and Elias Seemann’s Hidden Giants, which celebrates the incredible Lake Sturgeon, Alberta’s biggest and oldest fish.

Little ones will love interactive pieces like Leapfrog by Trew Facks, where they can actually join in a playful game of leapfrog, or Stripes in the Shadows, a glowing tribute to the Grevy’s zebra.

With so much to explore, Zoominescence is a bright and joyful way to experience the zoo after dark — a family tradition that will leave everyone wide-eyed and full of wonder.
