Christmas Garden Augsburg 2026/2027: The zoo transforms into a sparkling winter wonderland
As dusk falls over Augsburg, the zoo transforms into a glowing world of experiences: The Christmas Garden invites you to a festive evening stroll through the festively illuminated Augsburg Zoo from November 26, 2026, to January 9, 2027. Millions of lights, impressive installations, and suitable music create a special festival atmosphere for families, groups of friends, and anyone who wants to experience winter with all their senses.
A stroll between light art and winter magic
On the newly designed route, the path leads through a glittering landscape of light, colors, and sound. The open-air atmosphere connects the familiar surroundings of the zoo with modern light installations and a fairytale winter aesthetic. At the food stalls, mulled wine, savory snacks, and sweet treats await visitors.
Entry in personal time slots
The Christmas Garden opens on event days from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The last entry is at 8:00 PM. For a relaxed access, the entry times are divided into 15-minute time slots. After entering, there is plenty of time to explore the route at an individual pace and take in the light moods on the festival grounds.
Winter experience for families and groups of friends
The Christmas Garden is not a classic concert festival but an atmospheric multi-day experience with light art, music, and culinary stations. Families benefit from family days and discounted family tickets. Children up to and including five years old receive free entry. Reduced prices apply for pupils, students, and seniors aged 65 and above under certain conditions.
