Zoo Snoozes
Are you brave enough to sleep among lions, tigers and bears?
Your adventure begins at 6:30 p.m. with a scavenger hunt that allows you to explore the Zoo. We continue with a few up-close and personal animal encounters and other activities that may include animal enrichment projects and late night hikes. The evening ends with a campfire and s'mores.
At 7:00 a.m. it's rise and shine, pack your gear, and have a continental breakfast (provided with the program). Complete your adventure by observing the animals enjoying the enrichment made the night before and with an early morning tour around the Zoo. The program ends at 9:00 a.m.; however your group is welcome to enjoy the Zoo for the remainder of the day.
Zoo Snoozes are for youths seven and older. Minimum group size is 15. Maximum group size is 35. Participants will sleep in 4-person tents provided by Johnson Bank.
Participants are responsible for providing their own sleeping gear and toiletries. Restroom facilities are available; however, there are no shower facilities available. This program is filled with live animals and animal artifacts.
It is permissible to bring additional drinks and snacks for the group. As the program begins at 6:30 p.m., it is assumed that the group will have already eaten dinner. However, for an additional $4 per person you can purchase the Deluxe Zoo Snooze package that includes dinner. Dinner consists of a hot dog, chips, cookie, and soda pop. Additional hot dogs may be purchased for $1 each. With the Deluxe Package, your adventure will begin at 5:30 p.m. This program is only available at the Racine Zoo.
