Howl-o-ween Family Sleepover

Howl-o-ween Family Sleepover (ages 5+ with an adult)

Be our overnight guest for a howling good time and enjoy the thrill of the zoo after dark. During your adventure, learn the truth about "scary" animals through Halloween-themed activities, games, live animal encounters, and a flashlight tour. You'll even get a chance to trick-or-treat along the way with the animals. Your adventure includes a late-night snack and a NEW hot breakfast (eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, etc.) the next morning.

Bring your own tent and sleeping gear to tent camp in the Crooked House Meadow or sleep indoors in the Learning LODGE Classroom. Indoor sleeping is limited and must be requested by contacting the Education Department before the event. Class fee is for each participant. A parent or guardian must accompany their own child. Please contact the Education Department if you have any questions regarding registration for this event.
