The event will be trying to build off of the success of 2020 when 92,000 visitors came to check out the lights, with 40 per cent comprised of tourists. It set an attendance record for the Enchanted Forest.
Admission remains the same this year with it costing $10 per person and vehicles with a maximum of seven people costing $35 for entry. People can pay $30 for an Enchanted car pass at Saskatoon Shoppers Drug Mart or Co-op Food Stores and Gas Bars. Bus passengers pay $5 with the bus driver getting in for free.
All funds go towards the Saskatoon Zoo building, an award-winning prairie dog exhibit, and construction of Butterfly House, set to open in the Spring. The zoo also has plans to renovate the Affinity Learning Centre, and build a new home for the bears.
