From October 9 to November 29, 2026, the Schwerin Zoo will be transformed into a dazzling fairy-tale world. With its new light festival, “WILD LIGHTS,” the state capital is bringing a spectacular event to the region that has already delighted hundreds of thousands of visitors in Cologne, Paris, and Antwerp. A unique blend of light and nature for the whole family.

Over the course of several weeks, light installations up to six meters tall, thousands of colorful LEDs, and imaginative animal and plant figures transform the sprawling zoo grounds into an illuminated world of wonder. Around the pond area, an impressive blend of natural scenery and international light art takes shape—atmospherically staged and full of surprises.

Experience the best of both worlds: Across three themed sections, you’ll discover local wildlife, endangered species, and an enchanting world of birds and plants—all in a combination unlike anything seen before. Every single light display was specially selected for the Schwerin Zoo.

Visitors are in for a special treat from October 9 to 11: WILD LIGHTS will open its doors to coincide with this year’s Old Town Festival. While the downtown area entices visitors with concerts, dancing, and hands-on activities, a visit to the zoo adds a spectacular highlight to the fall program.

Discover unforgettable fall nights filled with sparkle and light art. Moments that will leave you in awe.

Book our exclusive package: 2 nights in a Beach Apartment, breakfast by the sea, and a free photo shoot with your dog and family. You’ll receive the final photos as a Christmas postcard to send to friends and family. This way, your Christmas mail is taken care of quickly and in a relaxed setting, paired with a special experience.
