Snooze at the Zoo

We are fully booked for 2024

A night your students will never forget! 

A 24-hour experience, our sleepover at the zoo gives an exciting insight into the wild world of a zoo at night. This is great for students of all ages and is full of fun packed activities around the zoo during the day and night. 

As well as a packed set schedule, you will also have the opportunity to choose two of the following activities during your snooze experience: 

  • Enrichment making and placing 
  • We Designed A Zoo Challenge (this will alter your itinerary as it lasts for more than one hour) 
  • Animal behaviour and research activity 
  • Any of our curriculum linked workshops 

Activities start in the morning, continue through until bedtime and include animal encounters, workshops, trails and hot chocolate with marshmallows around the campfire. The students will be given a unique ‘Snooze at the Zoo’ t-shirt to take away with them and food is also included in the price. 

  • Snooze at the Zoo requires a minimum of 11 individuals 
  • Indoor sleeping arrangements are available for groups of 30 or under if required. 
  • Tents and sleeping equipment are not provided 

Our Snooze at the Zoo experience is catered specifically to the age and individuality of the visiting group and can be custom made for any audience.
