  • An after-hours tour of ZooNorth.
  • A late night snack (eat dinner before you come) and a continental breakfast of cereal, breakfast bars and fruit.
  • Up close encounters with some of our Education animals.
  • A fun craft activity.
  • An official Dallas Zoo "Lights Out" overnight patch for each youth participant.
  • Entrance to the Zoo the following day for all participants and chaperones.

Overnights begin at 7 p.m. and end at 10:30 a.m. the following day. We require one adult chaperone per four participants. The cost is $40 per participant.
