Dinner Safari
No time to fly to Africa for dinner on the Serengeti? No problem! Join us for a family friendly event that starts with an after-hours tour of the Honolulu Zoo to see what our animals do when the sun is setting and the gates are closed. Then enjoy an onolicious buffet dinner before embarking on a night-tour of the Zoo visiting a few of our nocturnal inhabitants. Your night ends with s'mores around a campfire -- and likely a few roars and howls in the distance!

Snooze in the Zoo
All ages
Camping with the family is great, but you've camped everywhere on island... or have you? Not if you haven't camped among the animals at the Zoo! This overnight event includes a delicious buffet dinner and an evening tour of the Zoo as the animals are getting ready for bed or waking up for their "day". You will enjoy s'mores around a campfire before hitting your tent for the night, serenaded with roars, whoops, and howls from the Zoo inhabitants in the background. Wake up to a buffet breakfast and a morning tour to see what happens at the Zoo before we open. Participants are welcome to stay after the conclusion of the program to enjoy a day at the Zoo!

Bring the wonder of the Zoo into your school or classroom! Our goal is to foster an appreciation of our living world through hands-on *biofact* (furs, feathers, skulls, etc.) study.

Each program is approximately 45 minutes long and has been designed by educators with developmental appropriateness and state and national content standards in mind.
