About the event
For its fourth edition, Beekse Bergen's Light Safari sets out a trail of glowing figures from the animal world in the park's woods. You walk it in the early evening, and the season runs all winter until late February. Normally it opens Thursday to Sunday, and every evening during the Dutch Christmas holidays. It can be combined with a daytime visit to the safari park. Tip: buy online, which is much cheaper than at the gate, and arrive before 8.30 pm, the last entry time.
