Our popular Dinosaur Nights & Lights returns! ⭐🦕

Open every evening from 3 - 18 July, this nightly event at our recently opened Dinosaur Discovery Track, is an opportunity for whānau and friends of all ages to experience these pre-historic creatures in a whole new light!

Along with enjoying illuminated dinosaurs after dark (5.30pm - 8.30pm), a ‘Silent Dino Disco’ at the dinosaur tent will be on offer to all those keen to get their groove on.

You’re invited to bring your own kai or purchase great hot food (including soup and fry bread), treats and non-alcoholic drinks from the Zoo’s Korimako Café.

Those who visited last year raved about it – and we’re sure you will too!

Pre-booking is essential, as spots are limited. Get your tickets here - aucklandzoo.co.nz/dinosaur-nights-and-lights.
