What goes on in the Zoo once the rest of the guests leave?
Bedtime with the Beasts is a special overnight program for youth groups
(ages 6-18) and their chaperones. An Oakland Zoo education specialist
will lead your group on an evening hike around the zoo where you'll get
a look at what the zoo is like after all of the guests leave.
Afterwards, enjoy snacks and participate in a fun activity.Then get the
chance to meet one of our education animals up close.
When it's time for bed, you\'ll head down to the Education building's
auditorium, where you have the option of watching an educational
wildlife video on the big-screen as you drift off to sleep.
In the morning your group will enjoy a tasty continental breakfast and
take a private tour to see some of the animals as they awake! Groups
arrive at the zoo at 7:00pm and the program ends the next morning at
9:00am.
Minimum group size 15; maximum 100 participants (including adults).
