Grab your friends and come on down to the Zoo for an amazing evening with the animals! These overnights are exclusive to you and your group. Start your evening with a private guided tour of the Zoo. Afterwards, enjoy a light snack and participate in a fun hands-on activity. Next, meet one of our education animals up close and then head down to our auditorium and settle in for the night. In the morning wake up, enjoy a tasty continental breakfast, pack up your things, and journey back into the zoo to see the animals as they wake.
