Zoo nights: A different way to see the Zoo

Zoo Nights might look a little different to your usual visit, which is why it’s such a unique experience! But just remember, it’s the animals bedtime, so some of the residents might be a little less active or not as easily visible.

There will also be a range of delicious food and drinks available at Wisteria Café, Fig Tree Café, Immersion Hut and the Rotunda for those moments you feel a little peckish.
