Join zoo experts for an overnight experience you’ll never forget! Before you roll out your sleeping bag for some climate-controlled camping, enjoy animal presentations, zoo activities, and a guided flashlight tour of the zoo after dark. In the morning, you’ll discover how the zoo prepares for the day during a short tour and then head to Beastro for a freshly prepared taco breakfast.

Choose from three engaging themes:

• Nocturnal Adventures: What are the benefits of being active at night versus during the day? Discover how animals like bats, cats, and owls are adapted to exploring the night.
• Grossology: Slime, poop, and pellets, explore the gross side of animal kingdom and learn why some animals benefit from being “gross”.
• Animal Mysteries: Scientists can’t always see animals to make observations and learn more about them. Become an animal investigator and look for animal signs as you solve a mystery!

Pizza dinner, evening snack, and breakfast tacos are included.

Sleep with the Hippos!
