When can a group schedule a zoo Evening Adventure?
Groups with at least 25 people can schedule an Evening Adventure for any Friday and Saturday evening from February through November. Adventures are also offered on Wednesday and Thursday nights upon request. (Select dates have been reserved for individuals, families, and small groups with less than 25 people. Click here for more information).

What types of groups and how many people can you accommodate?
Group size must be a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 80 (groups up to 100 can be accommodated upon request). Multiple groups are often registered for the same adventure date to maximize participation.

All kinds of groups can share the excitement of an evening adventure. We welcome large groups, scouts, classrooms, adults, kids, community groups, birthday parties, nature lovers, animal lovers and anyone else who wants to experience the wildest side of the zoo! Youth must be at least 7 years old. Adults must accompany youth at a ratio of one adult per six youth.

What animals will we see?
You'll see lots of amazing creatures during your visits to zoo exhibits and at our exciting animal programs. There's no guarantee, however, on what we'll see during our walks on zoo grounds. As in the wild, animals may choose to remain hidden, or may be off exhibit for a number of reasons. As a result, every Zoo Evening Adventure is unique in the animals that are seen in exhibit areas. But if you're quiet, there's a great chance you'll come eye-to-eye with lots of fantastic wild animals.

What do we eat?
A light evening snack of meat and cheese sandwiches, pretzels and juice will be provided. Special diets are the responsibility of individual program attendees.

What type of gear do we need to bring?

  • Clothing for inclement weather (Our adventure takes you outside)
  • Camera to capture those special memories. (Flash pictures are permitted at most areas).
  • Flashlights are provided
