Zoo After Dark: 21+ Overnight

A truly one-of-a-kind experience, these overnights make a great date night, friend group outing, or (adult) family adventure!

An interactive social hour will start the night with two drink tickets, light bites, strange zoo games, and a visit from a unique animal. Then, we will break out into small tour groups led by Zoo Educators to traverse through Africa. On our Zoo safari, we will go behind the scenes of Hippo Cove and uncover the secrets of our world-famous bloat. We’ll finish up our night at our Twiga Tents, gathered around a roaring campfire roasting s’mores. After the evening excitement, you’ll cozy up on your bunked cot in our shared tents.

​​​​​​​The next morning, you’ll wake up to breakfast overlooking Giraffe Ridge, and it doesn’t end there! One last special animal guest will join us in the morning to say goodbye.
