Who’s up for a night on the wild side? Sure, going to the zoo during the day can be loads of fun. We can spend hours wandering around the zoo, visiting our favorite animals and hoping to catch sight of a nocturnal animal or two as they catch up on their sleep. But, have you ever stayed overnight at the zoo? If not, you’re in for an unforgettable treat when you sleep at the Kansas City Zoo in Missouri.
Pack up your PJs and sleeping bag for an unforgettable overnight at the Kansas City Zoo that gives you the unique opportunity to experience the zoo after dark.
The zoo features several year-round overnight programs, including the Red Panda Overnight, the Stingray Bay Overnight, the Polar Bear PJ Party, and the Penguin Pole-Looza.
Your evening typically begins at 7 p.m. with a full menu of activities scheduled before you cuddle up in your sleeping bag, on the floor in a designated area.
Join other campers enjoying themed-activities. (If you’re camping out with the penguins, your activities will all be penguin themed.) Then, embark on a night hike before…
Curling up in your sleeping bag for a good night’s sleep. In the morning, you’ll meet one of the zoo’s animal ambassadors and have a delicious continental breakfast before your adventure ends at 8 a.m.
A few things to keep in mind. You must make reservations, pay in full before you arrive for your overnight, and arrive on time. Kids must be supervised.
