SUBIC BAY FREEPORT — Zoobic Safari has launched a seasonal nighttime attraction aimed at expanding Subic’s leisure offerings during the holiday travel season, combining wildlife encounters, cultural performances and live entertainment with an initiative supporting the blind community.
The Zoobic Night Safari opened on Oct. 24 with “Dinner in the Dark,” an immersive dining experience designed to raise awareness of the experiences of people who are blind and promote greater social inclusion.
Running every Saturday through Jan. 2, 2027, the attraction gives visitors an alternative way to explore the wildlife park after dark while adding another activity to Subic’s tourism calendar.

The nighttime program features safari tours, performances by Aeta cultural performers, an animal parade, LED dancers and fire dancers, offering a mix of wildlife encounters and entertainment for families and other visitors.
The launch comes as tourism destinations seek to broaden their attractions and encourage visitors to explore more leisure activities during the peak holiday period. For Subic, the addition strengthens its range of family-oriented experiences beyond daytime recreation.
“Dinner in the Dark” was a central feature of the opening, inviting guests to rely on their other senses to gain a better appreciation of the experiences of people who are blind. The activity also highlighted Zoobic Safari’s commitment to community engagement and inclusive tourism.
By integrating wildlife experiences, cultural presentations and social advocacy, Zoobic Night Safari adds a new dimension to the park’s tourism offering while providing visitors with another reason to include Subic in their holiday plans.
The seasonal attraction is open every Saturday until Jan. 2, 2027.
