REVIEWS OF Terra Lumina IN Scarborough

Nicolay Doytchev

Pretty good.

Dharan V

What an awesome experience to walk through the familiar zoo grounds after dark. The light show and the sounds work in unison to create a truly immersive experience. Dress warmly as you will spend about an hour outside, it is best to take your time with this experience. Washrooms are only near the start and the end of the walk so best to use it before or after. Parking at the zoo is $8 during Terra Lumina

Lesley Riedstra

What a lovely night out, the weather was perfect for the walk, it took just over an hour to walk the tour. Had to wait a little for the drums, which was the slowest section of the show. The laser lights at the beginning are probably the best overall lights. The projections are all really cool too. Don't look for the animals, they are all inside hidden, although the wolves did happen to appear for a short visit!

Henry

For the price, it was a bit steep for what it was, but definitely nice to go for a one time experience with a date or with friends and family

Jamie Drayton

I enjoyed this experience but it shouldve been better. There were a couple cool/engaging moments through the walk, but a lot of just walking in the dark between installations. In those times, you’re completely withdrawn from the journey they try to convince you that you’re on. Felt like maybe the zoo didn’t have enough budget to do this right (as someone else commented the Whistler experience was way better) and so they patched it together with some cheap installations - the crystals was a bit of a joke for example, and the glowing tents didn’t do much for me. The tunnel at the end was awesome. Overall we enjoyed it, but I wouldn’t go again, and would hesitate to recommend to a friend. Wished it was better.

Vikas Patel

It was beautiful and unique experience, best thing about this place is sound effects, it makes you feel like real animals sounds form all directions, good visuals, will visit again !

jane Li

We love the entire experience! We took our three kids there, aged 1, 3, and 5! It's a good option especially during COVID time. We walked around and enjoyed the light show, especially the one at polar bear habitat! The message behind the show is quite clear, that we need to be nicer to the environment now so we can have a better future! Near the end, there's an interactive drum light game! It's fun and it's so de-stressing!

Chesco Threesixsixsix

Great experience. Really enjoyed my time there. Well worth the ticket price.

Tech Overdrive

Really Fun. Gift Shops Open. Only Thing No Encarving for bracelets though.

Mo P

Magical

Zlob00z

Unique and meaningful experience

Saleena

All in all, Terra Lumina is worth checking out! I went in not really having expectations on a very rainy Friday night. However, I ended up having a great time with my friends. I liked the inspirational quotes and messages everywhere, the visuals and soundscapes were great, and the collaborative nature of curating the installations with Indigenous peoples is very wonderful! The flow of the exhibits was well done and also cohesive - carrying forward a main message across the journey.

Brad Bilenki

Worth the experience if you have the chance. Lumina has locations around the world if you are so inclined.

Laurin Jeffrey

Solid and enjoyable experience. Only problem was that it was front-loaded with the best parts, so the quality seemed to gradually drop off as you went. A lot of long parts of darkness with no lighting, kind of odd. The first portal you go through, though, that will take your breath away. The laser forest was great, the drums. Definitely worth checking out.

E Z

Meh... I rather pay less for admission to the zoo and look at animals for the day instead of lights for an hour.

Victoria Naud

Not worth the price

Bianca Azgin-Joseph

So misleading and not worth the money (Toronto Terra Lumina). Honestly I don't know if I would've even paid $5 for it. All it was, was a walk with some lights (SOME, because in between the few holograms, the walk was basically in the dark) and NO information what so ever. I was hoping they were discuss more about how to make the change or have some science mixed in but instead they kept repeating over and over "YOU be the change. YOU make a difference"... but they forgot the information and the how. I've been on a low waste journey and was so excited to finally see something like this get so much hype, thinking: this could be it, this could get people excited to make a change.. but instead it was the most disappointing thing ever. Please PLEASE start providing the guests with more information and actually make a change instead of a money grab to set up very few lights.

Jeannie Dhun

Was lots of fun. The lights were pretty cool. The beginning and the end were my favorite

Ravi Patel

Went there with friends and had a fun time. Its an amazing lightliting show on a walk with different spots too hang out for an hour or so.

Tarun Ahuja

Expected to have more things, you have very little to see for the price you pay.

AlexGamerXD XD

Amazing experience. I would go again and again.

Peter Ibrahim

Nothing particularly breathtaking but nothing wrong with the experience either! I like how they sell drinks on site and the fact that there is a ton of garbage and recycling points throughout the park. One of the coolest parts was actually just seeing the polar bear habitat in the dark, not part of Terra Lumina but if you are lucky you can see him/her? If you have kids or if you want an excuse for a cute date night then it might be worth the cost, but otherwise it's just that, okay. (Also 14$ parking for an hour event is actually highway robbery)

PetLand Spa

Great experience with the strong message for generations to come. I have seen similar exhibit at Mount Tremblant last year; slightly different, and a bit more exciting than the one in Toronto. Considering covid 19 situation I give Toronto Zoo thumbs up for a great show.

Michele Roach

This was disappointing. I thought the theme was going to be the future in 2099 and didnt think the show reflected that. The lights were nice; perhaps my expectations were too high or out of whack. It was expensive for what it was. It would have been a nice gesture to make the parking free. I would not recommend this.

Prashant Savani

Good place to go with child

Luis Patricio Coronel Martinez

It was nice but, too expensive. I was expecting more.

Qudsia Zia

Love this place

Vinny Vormation

YOU GOTTA GO!!! Don’t even second guess - this was a transformative time travel pro environmental indigenous experience and I loved every second of it. It’s thought provoking and engaging. The lights and visuals are compelling and the sounds and expeirence are engaging. I loved every second of it, I kept hoping it wouldn’t end. The time travel portal back to 2019 was my favvy-fav. Must see! - V

JWhitney H

Beautiful experience with an even more beautiful message! Romantic and refreshing outdoor walk through a forest of colorful lights accompanied by inspiring Indigenous music. I loved it!

Dabbarina BongSlut

Amazing Experience! Great for photo ops and cool selfies(just dont go in the last couple time slots if you want to take LOTS of pics as you will get rushed along) Definitely stop and listen to the stories that go with each visual area. Tried to post some pics without ruining some of the best views. Do these are just previews! Definitely go check out Terra Lumina before its over and see the rest for yourself.

Shruti Suresh

A surreal walk into the future. I'm so surprised that not many Canadians know about this. You must experience this before it ends in April. We went on an extremely cold night. I was mesmerized by the whole experience. It makes you think about what kind of future we are creating for ourselves and our children. Brilliant use of lightwork to create holographic illusions. It takes you about two hours to walk through the future and back into 2020. Your kids will love it. Don't forget to dress warm.

Jaina mistry

Magical place

Montana LaRocque

There is definitely something magical about creeping around a large facility like the Toronto Zoo after dark. And the first exhibit in the Terra Lumina event was stellar. Sadly, that is where my enjoyment ended. I found the indigenous "message" unclear at best, and heavy-handed in general. Most exhibits managed to actually take AWAY from the natural beauty of the environment to splash Instagrammable messages/images on them instead. I left the zoo that eve wishing the creators had gone all-out with the sci-fi or indigenous aspects (neither were really compelling, imo). That said, if you want to go to an event you can brag about (on Instagram!) and aren't looking for any deeper meaning, it's worth the $34.

Joshua Kubinec

The totality of the experience was worth the visit, but there was a really disjointed theme that didn't tie together neatly. That's ok because you get the point they're trying to get across anyway. I'd also like to say that the show was for a good cause and was still entertaining. There are also lots of cool spots at this exhibit to take fun pictures (as long as your camera can handle it). We really enjoyed ourselves at this show, as did our toddler. Definitely recommend checking it out if you've got the cash.

Ahmed Tahir

A little short for my liking, but it was definitely something that I would recommend for families to do! Very covid friendly, just a tad bit pricey, with tickets plus parking.

Fary H

One of the most profound experiences I've had in Toronto, the music, the lights and the whole experience

Calvin Chen

Absolutely stunning , deep touch the bottom of your soul . Best light show ever

james dantow

It was a surreal and amazing experience!

Jas Chana

Great experience, especially for kids. Super soothing and relaxing for adults. Great walk, your, and setup very well!

Shefali Kulkarni

Although overpriced, it was a great light show. My 5yo loved it!!

Kim C

What a beautiful experience!! We made the trip to the zoo on Jan 18 as Toronto was being hit by a snow storm but it was worth the drive ... the snow and cold added to the magic. We loved the holograms and stood in awe as the message was delivered and point was made. I'll go again and walk slower next time to take it all in. Great job Toronto Zoo!!

Adam Sit

Great! Speechless! Entertaining! Wow!

Beeboop Boy

I was so surprised with the job that was done . I was entertained the whole time by the show. Not to give any spoilers, but there are holograms!!!

Halal _foodhunt

It was a very mesmerizing experience so beautiful I just wish they could have added more things. I took us an hour to go through the whole thing. The tickets were expensive and than 14$ parking ticket. Beaver tail was open.

R. Desmond

Illuminated night walks. Very entertaining moving 3d holograms, inspiring, and imaginative. Kids and adults will enjoy.

Tony H

Definitely not as good as advertised. Not recommend for the price point. Not even worth a visit even its free.

Raghupathy Kolandavelu

Underwhelming Experience. Not worth the money.

Emilia Sukkari

Amazing experience!!

Rachelle

Enjoyed my time there. A good walk around was worth it. Dress warm everyone ????

Cathy Mountenay

Excellent experience for the whole family. An opportunity to slow down and immerse ourselves in the light show and message, very thought provoking. Well done!

Shal S

Not worth spending $30 a tix. These tixs should costs more like $10-15. It was a cool experience for kids. Walked for approx an hour. There's a lot of just dry ice and words. There were only 3 projections. The drums and lights was a awesome interaction, but there's no explanations. Basically was a light show. They definitely need to add more interactive stations and projections for future.

Vibeish Vickinadas

Meh. Is the best way to describe it. These nightwalks are better in a warmer climate. Plus the sheer amount of kids just made it incredibly annoying. Yelling kids, yelling parents and people who have no understanding of decorum and manners. Cant walk at ones pace because we have humans who have no sense of direction or awareness of their surroundings. I was expecting a immersive experience with nature and a peaceful walk. Far from it. Frankly, a disappointment. Especially for the price you pay.

Mr. Starks

Highly recommended, take your time and enjoy whatever your sense pickup.

Natasha Davis

Good for couples,and families with kids under 13 :)

Franco Cicchetti

Pretty cool

Gary Bader

Fantastic experience for the whole family. The light exhibits are beautiful and very well done. The music and light provides an enjoyable immersive experience over about 45-60 minutes of relaxed walking. Not too busy because they let people in in groups. Bring boots, as the recent warm weather and rain has created areas of mild puddles.

Harpal Singh

Overall its pretty cool and Intersting only If ticket price was lower, it would have been worth it.

Theo Kalentzis

Christmas drive through at the Toronto Zoo. Fun time with the family, got to see Santa Claus!

Don Whittemore

The trouble with attractions like this is they get compared to Disney, and when you are up against the grandmaster of special effects and illusion you are going to come up lacking. Terra Lumina is a valiant effort. The three laser projections are beautiful, especially the wolves. The First Nations soundtrack is mesmerizing and brings Cirque du Soleil to mind. Well worth a visit, but younger folk may become bored early in the 1.75 km journey.

Manikantan S

Not worth the money.. mediocre stuff

Frie M

Beautiful immersive experience. The lights show, music and projection made for an impressive experience! Well done. I would go back again. The only disappointing aspect was the long lineup to get into the park. They should have created a separate line up for those who already purchased tickets & parking in advance.

Saba Ghaderi

Absolutely amazing... the music the art and the concept was just breathtaking

Lincoln Beatty

Change is impossible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Safid Musabbir

This place was lit. All the animation were lovely and well done. The lightning effect was wonderful. I wish there was bit more variety of effects. It's mostly trees being lit up.

Natasha Lemire-Blair

Stunning. Felt like an outdoor rave just missing my glowsticks.

Sarah Benjamin

Beautiful light show. Can't wait to go back!

double negation

Typical Toronto, overpriced and underwhelming.

Naval Gandhi

Very nice show. Definately recommend for a nice walk with your partner among the nature and the lights.

Scott Higginson

Have done a few of the Lumina walks and this one was rather disappointing in comparison. Especially given the charge for kids over 3 (instead of 5, like others) and for parking which sees it cost a premium for my family, at least, against the others. There was no story to speak of, just a basic message. The light exhibits were spaced far between and not much to entertain on the walk to each. Not worth it. Expected much more.i know Moment Factory can put on a great show, this one's seems to be resting on its proximity to the vast population of Toronto.

Nivedita khadoo

During this pandemic this was a great way to go out and see the beauty of lights.. Amazing work of lights and hats off to the people who did it.

beanifur (claire bear)

Awful first experience. I rescheduled our tickets for another date which we were told was okay. We made it on time, all the way from downtown with a $40 lyft just to be told by a security guard that Terra Lumina was canceled. The lady on the phone who helped me reschedule didn't warn me of this and nothing had informed us- not the website, not the Facebook, nothing. I didn't get a call or a text either. By the time we got there, the last bus had left and we were stranded. This was our first time in the area and we had no clue where to go to get picked up. No one was around at all. We wasted money for these tickets, for the lyft to get here as well as our time. We had to walk to the next bus stop which was on the highway because we wanted to avoid spending more money. We waited half an hour in the cold and still no bus showed. If I could rate less stars, I would. Completely unimpressed and disappointed.

Jeremy Halpenny

Fun but short

Nair Upesh

Wonderful experience.. Definitely worth it.

Val Zavidnoy

Mildly entertaining, but grossly overpriced. For the money you pay for it, I suggest to go to Nutcracker at Casa Loma, it's much more enjoyable and entertaining.

Kunal Keskar

Not worth the money

Yasir Javed

Ordinary projector stuff not worth $33

Michael Vogelsberg

Wonderful experience. Well worth the time. Colourful, interesting stories and great music. ENJOY.

Edwin C

Great experience, hope the city does more of these types of exhibits. Gets cold at night.

Rodgert Zheng

Amazing visual and audio experience. Great for neon/night light photos. Was a breathtaking experience and would go again!

Reza Ghaedi

I spent an amazing colorful night with my family and friends at Terra Lumina. You definitely should experience it at least once! P.S: In pitch-dark nights, it will be more exciting. ????

clara zhai

The lights for entrance is grand, but I had expected more from the price that is set for the show. It carries out good meanings, but in terms of design/presentation of the lights, it is very average and not too creative either. There is not enough to see for the price that I paid. I would say for the same price, I'd rather go to the zoo for animals, instead of Lumina.

Ali Tayebi Arasteh

It was kind of fun and different ????????

ahmed almozan

Nice

Anthony Bipat

The zoo rocks.

Janet Caruso

What a beautiful experience. The lighting is done very well and it's exciting. It takes about an hour to walk through depending on how long you take at a few of the more special locations. There was a chip/drinks food truck as well as beavertails. We had waited a long time before doing this and it was absolutely worth it.

Sree Charan

Great place to visit in the middle of the urban jungle. Loved the holographic projection and the sound effects in the night sky light.

niki Trotter

Would have been nicer to be able to go on the zoo mobile. They said it was for members only, however, whennit went by it was empty.

Godwin Isemede Jnr

Beautiful

Brenda V

Really front-loaded—all the good stuff is in the beginning. That being said, I thought it was really well done! On-site parking available for $14.

David Dias

Would be a nice experience for free. Not worth paying for or enduring cold weather or a long drive to get there. Narrattion has a good message, but rather cheesy delivery. Not the look into the future it advertises itself to be.

Chris Happy

I loved the message! The sound, and recurring melody set the pace for a great experience.

kim nguyen

It was okay for the first year. There was no seperate line for prepaid visitors, so you will still wait in line regardless. the theme and idea was thoughtful, but it didn't translate so well into some of the installations. There were messages of being the change, but not much on how. A bit cheesy if you've been to nuite blanche or seen other video and light art installations before this. It's a short visit about 45 minutes, the price was expensive for what it was. Hesitant on a second visit. They give you a 50% off your next zoo visit though.

Maria Anafel

Indeed an enchanted walk. It's like you're in a different world. I love the message, very meaningful. Highly recommending. Walk is just for an hour though

Niraj Bajaj

Wonderful experience, beautifully planned and executed theme walk around. Perfect evening walk for a winter day.

Alvin Ching Wai Leung

Lights are kinda neat. Also novel to walk around the zoo at night. Price is a little steep though.

Lina Di Giulio

Amazing show. We went Christmas break 2019. We enjoyed it a lot. Check out my pictures.

Allan Leung

Cool show, although overpriced. Best was the stuff at the front. Seems like there's gaps the could have did a better job filling in.

Brand Yu

Not impressive. Does not worth $33. I would rather enjoy free nuit blanche at stc. I heard city of Toronto loaned 5 million for this. Well, good luck.

Miqsh Ak

This is a really nice experience and a visual treat for the eyes with a good message. The exhibits and holographic projections along the way seem to be a little too far BUT once you get to it, you forget about the distance (mostly due to the weather, no matter how well dressed or nice the weather is). There were a couple of dazzling exhibits that really makes you want to savor it longer..but the weather makes sure the crowd keeps moving fairly fast. It felt long but when it was said and done, it actually felt quite lacking something. Maybe adding another handful exhibits in the coming years might make it more appealing and feel more satisfied for the money to exhibit ratio. I would definitely rate this higher if they had warming stations along the way to enjoy what they have put up here. It's still worth atleast a visit while it lasts.

Jack Fernandes

This is boring at it's best. Honestly it's too cold to enjoy this walk, the lights are mediocre and the whole walk feels like a high school project to raise awareness for pollution and single use plastic. It felt like walking around Canada's Wonderland's but there are no rides, food or drink. Also there are parts of the walk which are VERY dark which makes you feel like saying "am I meant to be walking this way" This would probably be a good place to take young teenagers, so they can take some photos for social media and learn a little about single use plastic.

Charan Raju

Not worth for 35dllrs

AC CA

Great experience ! Did not know what to expect, turned out to be amazing !

Marissa M

Great experience with the whole family. An adventure and beautiful sights

Dale Thompson

Amazing. That’s all.

Dinesh Kumar R

Worth the time

Rabih Husseini

Overrated and overpriced ! I expected more immersive 3D projections..

Lorde The First

A really nice light show at the zoo ????. I enjoyed it

Jay Vagh

It was absolutely amazing. Honestly completely undescribable. It was one of the most amazing immersive experiences I've had. They did an absolutely fantastic job with everything. I was absolutely floored with how beautiful it was. Everything was so incredible. I wish I could see more. It was incredibly well done. Highly recommend for anyone of all ages

SarahJane DiMichele

A wonderful, ethereal experience. Great sound quality for the audio effects, too. Great to be outdoors at night in this environment. This art instalment sparks the imagination, and inspires a sense of wonder and whimsy. A fantastic activity for families, couples, or groups of friends to enjoy together safety, outdoors, in this pandemic.

Melissa Ann P

A great time, super glad that we did it before it got too chilly at night.

Fayaz Baiyat

Great light show. Honestly, too short though.

Danielle Pellatt-Hall

A thrilling experience. Enchanted.

Linda P

Amazing light show, recommended for family & friends!

Amanda

It was an interesting visual experience with a lot of great music. The theme ended up feeling a little forced and there wasn't any real substance to the message. Just a lot of "be the change" surface level stuff without anything more.

Nishant Gamre

What an amazing experience! Ever more fun if you are high.

Evelyn James

We decided to go New Years eve as a family, and make it memorable. It's a wonderful walk at night. We were dressed warmly and found it enchanting. This is the first year for the exhibit. Can't wait to see what they have in store going forward. Excellent

T N.

I had a poor experience on December 14. Despite the rain/snow, I was really excited to come and see this. I was freezing at Lumina Borealis and loved it. However, I don't think Terra Lumina is even worth $10 pp to see this. A real waste of time, money and gas. I've gone to Lumina Borealis (Kingston) and Vallea Lumina (Whistler) - both of which I loved. Terra Lumina is not even 10% of either one of these shows. Parts of the path are almost completely dark, the ones where there is some lighting isn't decorative. There are a few special effects that aren't impressive. Overall there is less use of lighting, holograms and decorations that make the "experience". It was just walking in the zoo in the middle of the night with scattered objects that weren't cohesive in random places. Very in your face messaging about respecting the environment, not told like a story or experience.

Zen Pawson

This was a complete let down, come on Toronto where is the creativity! This was lame at best. Lighting was ok but nothing spectacular, didn't get any real message.

afaq ahmed karadia

Incredible must have experience. Moment factory I am huge fan and this is amazing

Lolitha Wijesuriya

Decided to go experience this spectacle at the zoo. Although it took us about two hours to get there it was mind blowing. Pretty amazing show and has a deep message behind it too. We walked in for the last session which was at 8 pm. The tour wasn’t crowded and the weather wasn’t super bad either. We were well dressed for the cold. The total journey took us one hour.

Jeff Hainsworth

Pretty cool exhibit. We went in the middle of a pretty large snow event which really heightened the beauty. Only reason I don't give this 5-star is because it's a bit preachy. Would have been nice just to have walk without all the 'doom and gloom'' narrative. Pro tip: Get to the front of the line and stay waaay ahead of everyone else. You basically get a private walk through the zoo. Super peaceful and romantic.

Annesha Bhowmik

Definitely one of the coolest light show I’ve seen by far! We went on a rainy day and that just made the whole experience even better. The walk in total would take about an hour. Wear comfy clothing and proper shoes. You can purchase your ticket online along with a parking pass. I’d definitely recommend this to everyone.

Jill Howard

Lights and quality of sound were great but it was absolutely NOT worth the money. Nice message and some great moments, but short and overall underwhelming.

Rounak Udyavar

Its a good experience

Ahmed M. ElHamaky

What a great experience we had it was very lovely and joyful trip . You first start with the 2099 year walking throught this scattered lights .. and then you feel like you are now in the other world ...we loved the fantastic lighting and sound system inaddition to the great videos ... You will enjoy having excellent pictures. We wanted to stay more and we r requesting to increase the experience with more adventures. But i recommend the qhole experience to all you guys.

Mike Reisacher

A magical twilight walk, filled with light and music.

Jiang Yang Hao

While it is a novel experience and good family fun for the most part, it is overall underwhelming and overpriced. Note that the advertising videos on their website show exhibits from other similar events elsewhere in the world, which appear to be much more interesting and interactive than the ones showing here in Toronto. After the walk I kind of feel sad that Toronto gets the washed-out version of a cool thing.

Rosie Shi

Amazing show! Went in summer with friend and we enjoyed it. Hope we have more interesting ones like this in Toronto.

Helen Baskin

Very Magical so glad I did this with the people I love very much ????????????????

Iana Budnikova

Many efforts put in for me to sign in and leave a review, my first one ever! Really hoping to save YOU time and money. What a disastrous way to waist 30 minutes of your life. Do yourself a favor, Don’t go!

Heidi VanOstrand

Beautiful displays with a great meaning behind it

Nikita Koubrakov

What a waist of time. I’m speechless. Forget the ridiculous price, had I known it was that boring I wouldn’t go for free.

Jeremy Allemand

Buy your tickets now. Totally worth it !

Arsh Saiyed

It was excellent ???? ???????? My experience was just superb, incredible.???? such an amazing lightings and 3D graphics of animals, what an amazing and a thrilling musical background at night. Nature lovers gonna love it. Must must must visit everyone. I am sure that kids, elders and everyone gonna love it. One of my best experiences till now ???????????????? Imagine, cold night, plus thrilling animal music in the background plus forest walk. Wow ???????? truly adventurous ????????????

Mike Hoare

Very cool display. The Zoo setting was perfect, the messaging fitting.

Tor Onto

Amazing Experience. This is an Experience....so, slow down and take a moment to be present. We saw people running through....and, sorry folks, the point is not to SEE everything. The point is to EXPERIENCE and reflect. Suggest going during the week when there are fewer people. We wore thermals....it can be cool at night. Being warm will make it a more enjoyable experience.

Ramon Rodriguez

STAY AWAY! Absolutely not worth the money or your time. Most of the experience was just walking on dim lit pathways with nothing to see. One of the biggest money grabs I have ever been too. For the way it was advertised to Torontonians, this is a world class city, extremely underwhelming. Very shameful.

Balraj Shahi

Awesome experience and its not expensive yes the walk is not very long it will take about 45 minutes. Click the pictures for your insta with two lighting circles in the starting. I suggest buying parking tickets online they are cheaper online as compare to on spot, please check weather before going and also bring gloves since you will be taking lots of pictures and will get cold soon

Missile King72

There during the day and can see it Zoo is only open til 430 due to covid

Monica Paquet

It was a fun experience but we did find it expensive for what it is: essentially a light show while walking. If you've never done it, it's still quite a unique experience. Dress for the weather - boots are a must as sections are quite muddy.

Ashima Ashish

Good for one time watch. ##nighthangout.

Anna S

Very well done, thank you to the team of people who created this amazing show! Breathtaking experience and very romantic ;)

Tamara Stephens

It was a great experience and a good message. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Take your time going through it and enjoy the lights.

Col Maz

Great place to take the kids

Iman Metwally

It's really amazing restaurant, so yummy food, clean and friendly staff .

Nessie V

It was a nice walk through with the kiddies, I just wish there were more of the light displays/animations with the animals (there were only 3), especially for the price ($30 for adults, $25 for children, and $14 for parking). Cool concept though; they said it should take about an hour to walk through but it took us 45 minutes even though we were walking with a toddler.

Devon Khan

Great night time experience. The lights are beautiful. Definitely reccomend if the weather isn't too cold

Satish Dheer

Good

Justin Connolly

Absolutely loved this exhibit!

J D

Very nicely done, beautiful music, light show and messages.

Gloria M

It was a fun, optimistic experience. The lights/interactive activities were pretty cool, but is a bit underwhelming after the first 2 or 3. The story they put together about "being the change" can be overly cheesy if you're a cynical adult like me. However, it is likely inspirational sounding for kids. Definitely better suited for a younger audience/family setting in my opinion. It can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to complete the loop.

Parth Malhotra

Awful n terrible experience. Not even 10% of they advertised. Not worth $34..

Elizabeth Layton

Beautiful and interactive display. Will do again. I also plan to bring my kids in future

Greg Hemeryck

Beautiful

Priyank Lakhia

Not worth for the ticket pricing_ you can see more of the lighting and other amazing shows and projections free during holidays at other locations

Aaabdh Bhshdjd

Wonderful

J Teunissen

I was very disappointed in this experience. The lights are pretty and the holograms are cool, but for $30.00 it was not worth it at all. It is just a walk; there is no information or science. My impression from the description was that there would be some connection to how technology and science would help humans and nature to coexist in harmony by the year 2099. There was nothing at all. It is a walk with lights, that's it.

M B

Great experience

Jessica Chr

Pretty disappointing. I’ve been to the one in Whistler and it is 10x more “enchanting” and “magical”. This one was a whole lot of walking with nothing in between. While the one in Whistler was spread out as well, there were a lot of projections and art installations in between the bigger attractions. The music was also more captivating and there was a real storyline being told. I feel that because it was displayed at the zoo, there were probably restrictions on the type of installations- it cannot be permanent and time consuming to remove. This played a huge part in the quality and creativity that was put into this particular show. Would not recommend if you’ve already been to the one in Whistler.

What an amazing experience !

I really enjoyed the experience and being outside doing something fun in the winter. I hope this is popular so it continues and grows. I'd love to see more holographic images. Definitely worth a visit.

Super fun to have seen this a few times by now. Go early it will get busy fast!

Lana Sokolova

Stunning.. so well thought through and a well coordinated show. Beautiful lights and music and a story.

Robert Hristov

It was an interesting experience, nice way to visit the zoo at night

Sagana Siri

This place was so beautiful. My husband and I loved it ❤

Jacob Whynot

Fantastic!

Sonia Hall

What a wonderful way to spend a couple hours outside at night. The walk is not too long (I hate walking, LOL), and you are so engaged by the lights that time flies by so quickly that the walk is over before you even get tired. The lights are amazing! Even the simplest displays were great. Thank you for a lovely experience.

MARK SILVERMAN

Must see very well presented

Karen pelzowski

Loved it will go back next year

trina c

I wish it had more lights. But, still fun otherwise.

Maya Dzhikelova

Really nice experience. Love it

Lisa Zhao

It was a lovely night for my family and me. We enjoyed it a lot. The night was cold and wet but the road was clean without ice and snow. Besides the money goes to the zoo. It's a good thing to do.

Ell

Music and lights were really cool! Only drawback is when people ahead of you want to take long videos, it holds up everyone.

H D

Nothing exciting, not worth it.

shahan farooq

It a sweet walk through for the kids and a nice evening out…don’t expect something earth shattering..keep a realistic expectation to have a sweet time out with your kids and make some digital memories :)

David

Good experience, it was a nice walk through the forest, lights were engaging and had a nice "story." Would've been nice if it was slightly longer. Music was amazing! Ran into a few people with flash lights (kids), I am surprised the staff didn't tell them to turn it off, ruins the experience.

Swati Rai

Amazing experience!!! Makes you feel so close to nature...worth the money

C Zhang

Not enough exhibits to make the whole walk interesting. We went on a warmer night too, if it was a cold night, we would have finished the walk in 20 minutes. Not worth the admission price - go to Casa Loma or Wonderland for their shows instead.

SANDRIE BERNARD

Wonderful experience my family love it

Nour Q.

Lame, nothing special and definitely not worth the price. Yea the lights are pretty but that's about it.

K D

Absolutely beautiful. All the light displays are so mesmerizing. The music is great too. Very interesting theme with an important message. Futuristic concept.The animal light displays look like free spirits in the wild. You leave feeling happy and inspired. The best light show I've ever seen as it's outdoors and incorporates nature. Highly recommend this unique experience. Enjoyable for kids too.

Jitendra Jain

I loved the experience

Joy Karney

Enjoyed the light show. beautiful demonstrations and music.

Emily Handerson

Cool place! I really enjoyed staying there, can't wait till next time

Jage Cooper

This was a really good experience, i went with two friends and the "walking to the future" and "walking to the present" are the best parts, like walking through thrblights were an experiece. The rest was also really good but that was the most memorable for me. The music was amazing.

Abdullah Ayaz Mullanee

Really not worth the price. I don't understand how anyone can enjoy it.

Kevin Tan

I wouldn't recommend because the lightshow was subpar there were only 5 or 6 things that were worth seeing and each part was like 3 mins All the pictures you see is basically the good parts

Mike W

I won't ruin the surprise, but it exceeded my expectations massively.

Jinu Chang

My photos don't do this place justice. It was an amazing experience and the only drawback was you can only walk through once so take your time.

Tracy Bordian

A lovely experience. Well done. Worth seeing.

P Jinks

Amazing

Paul Yeung

Fantastic visual and interactive experience!

Jan Stiff

It wasn't worth the funds, we were so disappointed it only took us 1/2 to walk through. Last year it took us almost 2 hours to walk through. Some of the paths were not good for us seniors walking w canes.

Kareem Tadros

Great light show, and the music really nails the experience. Recommended. Good for kids too.

Bradley CM

The staff of Toronto Zoo enhanced the experience, however the logistics in the circle of life and exit tunnel need work as they were poorly executed. Aside from that everything else was very well done.

Jessica Z

Not a very fun place. It doesn't worth the price.

susan mcconkey

Was expecting it to be better...didappointed

Jenn Vee

We enjoyed it! Really cool lighting, music & message. However, it is pretty expensive for the length of the trail and there could be more in-between the exhibits.

kristina rudzki

I loved this exhibit. what a wonderful way to spend a few hours. a truly other worldly experience. fun for kids and adults. I would go back.

Ryan Gubb

I have nothing to say other then don't go . Highly disappointed.
