NIGHT SAFARIS (Year Round!) 

The Louisville Zoo is a special place with rustling sounds at night and early morning ruckus. Your overnight experience starts at 7 p.m. followed by activities, time to set up your tent if you wish to sleep outdoors (if not accommodations are available indoors) and a night walk. After a light continental breakfast, you will have a guided tour and depart at 8:30 a.m.  Education staff will provide you with unique experiences throughout your Night Safari adventure. If you would like information on booking a private Night Safari (school groups, scouts, etc.), please, call (502) 238-5344.
