Community Group Overnight

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.
