Wildlights started 24 years ago as a way to generate revenue during the quiet winter months, and over the years Wildlights has become an iconic holiday event in the City of Kamloops.
Purchase Wildlights Goes Virtual Tickets
Last year for the first time since its inception, we were forced to cancel Wildlights due to the pandemic.
Although the last 2 years have undoubtedly been challenging; they've also been inspirational! Wildlights Goes Virtual was created as way to connect friends, families, and loved ones together on a global scale, throughout the holiday season.
The feedback we received last year was outstanding! For some of you, it was your first time seeing Wildlights due to accessibility challenges or geographical or time constraints. Because of your feedback, we decided to do it again!
We heard your requests loud and clear - more lights and more magic, with just a light sprinkling of animal encounters and entertainment. Well, Aspect Film Works has captured just that!
Each year Wildlights continues to grow, and with nearly 1 million lights, this is our biggest and brightest year ever! Wildlights Goes Virtual is a 20 minute magical light tour that includes hundreds of light displays, Uncle Chris the Clown, animal encounters, a virtual train ride, a behind the scenes tour of how light displays are created, and this year, we have some very special guests! Kamloops Princess Parties brought Anna and Elsa all the way from Arendelle to see you, and they brought some friends along too!

Wildlights Goes Virtual can be watched as many times as you'd like, and tickets start at just $10.00!
Wildlights generates enough income to support the BC Wildlife Park through the winter months until Spring, when we typically see an increase in visitors.
The funds generated during Wildlights goes toward covering the cost of our average monthly grocery bill of $10,000, and the costs of care for the nearly 200 permanent residents in our care. Did you know that our Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre, and the burrowing owl breeding program are both funded entirely by Park admissions and donors?
From all of us at the BC Wildlife, thank you for supporting our initiatives!
Wildlights Goes Virtual was a huge undertaking, and we're so grateful for the community support we've received!
Thank you to Aspect Filmworks for creating an incredible virtual tour!
