The Toronto Zoo is the largest zoo in Canada. It is located in the Scarborough District of Toronto, Ontario, covering an area of 287 hectares (710 acres). At present, there are more than 460 species and more than 5,000 animals in the park. 

The scale can be regarded as the world's first. In addition to watching animals during the day, the "dream and immersive lighting show" at night has become the biggest highlight of the zoo. 

After nine months of construction, the Toronto Zoo in Canada has created a fantastic night tour project for the first time-the dreamy immersive lighting exhibition Terra Lumina, which is the 11th new night immersive experience in the Lumina Night Walk series of Moment Factory. 

This night walking experience of light and shadow aims to embody the theme of "a future world where humans and animals live in harmony with nature". Dolf DeJong (CEO of Toronto Zoo) said in his speech that facing the future world, we should stop and think about our role, recognize it in different ways, and think about what we can learn from it, so that we can be full of Keep moving forward with confidence. After night falls at the Toronto Zoo, you will be invited to enter a 1.5-kilometer immersive experience trail, and this is a road that will take you into the fantasy world of 2099. 

When you enter the 2099 miracle of light and shadow, your journey begins. The forest is integrated with various lights. The combination of nature and technology, many of the projection effects in the forest are very shocking. You will be attracted by these vibrant lights, multimedia effects, as well as amazing video projections and original music scores, and enter a future world full of possibilities.

Singapore Zoo-A night of phantom rainforest, attracting 1.9 million visitors every year 

Singapore Zoo is the first zoo in the world to adopt an "open concept" to operate. Say goodbye to fenced cages and go to "encounter" animals in the rainforest. From about 300 animals when it opened, to 2,400 animals of more than 300 species today, the number of visitors is as high as 1.9 million every year, and it is increasing year by year. Not only that, the zoo has also successfully reproduced many critically endangered species, and has been hailed as one of the best zoos in the world, and has gained global recognition. 

The Night of Magic Rainforest is to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the Singapore Zoo, and launched a multimedia night experience with a safari park as the background, combining light, shadow and sound effects. It is the first new night tour attraction launched by the Singapore Zoo and the first in Southeast Asia.

It can be seen that the "night tour" experience created by the Toronto Zoo and Singapore Zoo does not involve real animals in the whole process. It is not the "night tour" zoo that we normally understand-open nocturnal animal tours, extend the night tour time, and increase light fireworks , It's not the kind of modern nocturnal biology museum that can be seen in other zoos in the world. Its core is to create innovative zoo night tour cultural characteristics through modern technology, immersive scene experience, and story plot.  Previously, many zoos in China have tried the night mode, trying to increase the night economy by extending the night tour time in the park and opening tours based on nocturnal animals, and also added corresponding new products such as zoo night tours. Etc., the new model of "tourism + research" has also attracted much attention, but due to issues such as passenger flow and operating costs, it will eventually test the water or stop it in the short term. 

Zoo night tours need to be designed and arranged according to local conditions based on the adaptability of animals and plants, the needs of tourists, and the climatic factors of various places, taking into account the protection of animals and natural ecology, especially the lighting technology In terms of the use of, it is necessary to consider that it will neither affect the rest of animals nor the normal growth of plants; second, it is necessary to innovate the night tour format and create a new way of experiencing territorial culture. Good night tourism products must be based on theme parks. 

The idea is to design people's experience and interaction to bring visitors a sense of participation. For example, Toronto Zoo and Singapore Zoo create immersive tours with animal themes, innovative storylines, and no real animals are required to participate in the whole process. ; The third is to calculate the "economic account." Operating a night zoo, passenger flow recovery and night operating costs are the most important issues. Just like Singapore is located near the equator, the temperature and the length of day and night are the same throughout the year. Therefore, there is no problem of low and peak season operations. Most scenic spots and zoos in China have The challenge is long in summer and short in winter.
