Night Safaris
Have you ever wondered what happens after everyone leaves the zoo? Just because our guests and staff leave for the night, doesn’t mean things are any less wild. Explore the zoo with an experienced night owl who knows their way around in the dark. Learn about the adaptations and personalities of our nocturnal and crepuscular critters.
Get to see many of your favorite animals prowling and calling in ways you’ve never heard before.
Remember, animals don’t have a bedtime.

BEDTIME WITH THE BEASTS
What if two hours just isn’t enough?
With Zoo Knoxville’s Bedtime with the Beasts program, your group doesn’t only see the zoo, you get to spend the night up close and personal with our residents. We can cater your experience to meet a variety of scouting merit badges and patches (or just for fun), all while adding more time for adventure and exploration at the zoo.
