Moonlight Safaris

Go Walking in the Moonlight.

Come see the Zoo in a different light – by Moonlight!!  Even when the Zoo is closed to regular visitors, there's plenty to see. Enjoy dinner and a private tour of the Zoo led by one of our education staff.  Find out what many of the animals do once the Zoo closes. Choose one of our scheduled Moonlight Safaris, or choose your own safari date. When you explore the Zoo in the evening, you'll see the animals in a whole new light.

Note: Kids must be at least 3 years old to participate in Moonlight Safaris with adults. Kids Only Moonlight Safaris are for kids 5 and up.
