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.
Due to the Zoo's status as a federal quarantine facility, we are unable to include live animals in our presentations.

Assembly Style (100 students and under) - $250 / Outreach
