Overnight Adventures

Have you ever wanted to spend the night at the Zoo and learn something, too?

With our Overnight Adventure programs, you can! Each spring and fall our Nocturnal Adventure programs are available for school groups. During the summer months bring your youth, scout, or other group to experience a Summer Safari.

Additional Overnights Information

• Your program fees include Zoo and White River Gardens admission, parking fees, all activities, spending the night at the Zoo, and a catered breakfast buffet.
• Just like students, we have a scholastic season and a summer season. During the school year, we offer Nocturnal Adventures which are centered around the student. We also offer Summer Safari programs in warmer months, and Girl Scout Bunk for a Badge programs in the summer.
• Your group may be joined by others. The maximum number of participants for a Nocturnal Adventures or Summer Safari is 100.
• Please note that our overnights also have minimal attendance requirements, and the Zoo reserves the right to cancel due to participation numbers that do not meet our minimums. We will notify you at least two weeks in advance if we need to cancel.
• Groups sleep on the floor in the Dolphin Gallery. The Gallery is the large room that leads into the dolphin dome, but no one is allowed to sleep in the dome. There are bathroom facilities inside the building, but there are no showers available. The Zoo reserves the right to change your sleeping area as necessary.
• Below is a sample itinerary during an Overnight Adventure. Specific activities and schedule for each overnight vary depending upon the program selected. For all overnights, the first group to register gets to select the topic. Please note that the Zoo reserves the right to change any programming as necessary, including anything listed above. Also, please understand that we are not equipped to mix and match the activities.
